Workshops

12.30 – 17.15 (Boardroom 2)

RIA Innovation Workshop

Different transport modes are working hard to innovate for improved connectivity, better demand management, decarbonisation, and improved customer experience. At the same time, road, maritime, aviation and railway sectors have very similar challenges when it comes to overcoming barriers and adopting innovation.

To share those challenges and to see what good ideas are already being implemented in one transport sector that could be transferred into another, the Railway Industry Association is hosting two Innovation Swap workshops on 19 April at Interchange.

The workshops will focus on sharing knowledge and opportunities about innovation in two significant fields : Maximising the Benefits of Data and Minimising the Effects of Carbon.

Clients and project leaders from different sectors will give a short overview on the challenges, followed by an open discussion from innovators from across transport segments.

The innovators will able to present their ideas, on screen or desk-top display, and receive feedback and support from the other members and clients.

The workshops are limited to 25 innovators from across all segments.
