GREENER AND MORE EFFICIENT RAILWAYS 

IN WIDER BLACK SEA AREA 

The Wider Black Sea Area, a median area of the Eurasian platform, has witnessed an intense economic 

evolution which has to be supported and stimulated also through railway investments in order to facilitate 

the interconnection of regional, national and transcontinental railway networks, thus increasing the 

sustainable mobility of freight and passengers. An intense industrial activity, rising domestic consumption, 

increasing direct foreign investments, especially in the eastern side of the WBSA, the boost in trade volumes on 

the East-West axis, these are the main factors that trigger railway development opportunities. 

How can all these opportunities be turned into viable projects, how much money Barents Sea do they need and what are the 

potential financing sources, what are the priority railway projects for each of the WBSA countries, what solutions 

should be implemented to ensure cross-border railway interoperability? 

For consolidating the discussions and the projects analysed in the previous edition, the 8th edition of the summit 

will be attended by over 300 decision and influence makers dealing with the elaboration and implementation 

Norwegian Sea 

of investment policies on railway infrastructure development, railway freight and passenger transport, public 

transport in the Wider Black Sea Area (WBSA), as well as by institution and private investors. The dialogue 

White Sea 

partners will be represented by railway infrastructure managers, railway transport operators, companies in the 

railway industry, logistics, railway customers, port authorities and operators in over 50 countries.
