About us

Railforum is the independent knowledge network that consists of 200 companies and organizations that are active in the rail sector. The network was established in 1992. Railforum’s goal is exchanging knowledge and experiences in order to increase the social and economic efficiency of rail transport. The main focus is accelerating (process) innovations. Railforum offers its services and ensures alignment with other sectors, politics and science.

Members view Railforum as ‘a safe haven’ and a place to openly share knowledge. The association organizes regular meetings where important players from the rail sector meet, discuss and preferably take action and initiative. By bringing parties together, Railforum stimulates cooperation within the rail sector. In this way Railforum contributes to improving rail transport for both travelers and goods.
