Hit even harder by the recession than passenger rail, the freight industry must now face up to the consequences of the financial crisis by securing the right business model and the most profitable strategies for growth.

In addition, rail freight liberalisation is beginning to feel the strain following dedicated expansion on behalf of state owned operators which has raised questions around the objectives and merits of liberalisation.

For infrastructure managers, the current climate has led to a substantial downturn in traffic and technical issues are still hindering the progress of developing freight opportunities without frontiers.

Though there are still barriers, there is much cause for optimism. EuroFreight brings together senior freight representatives to identify how you can take advantage of the upturn.

With the help of speakers from across Europe, pinpoint the benefits of competition, the strategies for long-term success, the mutual benefits of efficient partnerships, how to reinvent business in the crisis and how to use the downturn as an opportunity rather than an obstacle.

EuroFreight will also allow you the opportunity to learn from your peers through a series of case studies. From Russia to Belgium to Estonia and from the Commission to CLECAT, work together to secure the survival of the freight industry.

EuroFreight will focus on the key strategic issues facing the rail freight industry today, including:

• Financial impact: how can the rail freight industry weather the storm?
• Liberalisation in practice: has today’s liberalised environment really encouraged competition?
• Business innovation: explore macro trends in the transport market and forecasted growth on key corridors.
• Focus on logistics: discuss tips on how to maintain and grow your market share.
