The Rail Business Days is an annual international trade fair and conference that, since its inception in 2021, has established itself as one of the key platforms for the European rail industry. The name stands not only for the economic activities surrounding rail transport but also for intensive professional exchange and high-quality business networking over the course of several days. Organized by the Czech agency VIA PRO MOTION s.r.o., the event benefits from the company’s extensive experience in trade fair and event management, providing a professional setting for the international railway sector.
A distinctive feature of the Rail Business Days is its annually changing venue within the Czech Republic. This not only highlights the nationwide relevance of the railway industry but also offers different regions the opportunity to present their infrastructure and innovative capabilities to an international professional audience. The fair combines indoor and outdoor exhibitions with expert lectures and networking formats, attracting a broad spectrum of industry professionals.
The event focuses on current developments in rail vehicles, railway technology, infrastructure, logistics, and integrated mobility. Visitors gain insights into modern trains, innovative signaling systems, and practical solutions for station design, digitalization, and multimodal transport concepts. A 750-meter-long track section in the outdoor area showcases rail vehicles—an impressive highlight for industry professionals and technology enthusiasts alike. Complementing this is a 6,200-square-meter exhibition area featuring traditional booths, interactive presentation zones, and a dedicated meeting point for targeted discussions between companies and institutions.
A central element of the event is the high-profile conference, where international experts discuss the latest challenges and prospects for the railway sector. Accompanying the conference are panel discussions, expert forums, and a gala evening that offers both a festive atmosphere and valuable opportunities for personal interaction.
Exhibitors represent all segments of the rail and mobility industry, including vehicle manufacturers, infrastructure providers, software companies, and public institutions. The audience is equally diverse: industry professionals, policymakers, and representatives of transport companies use the fair to learn about innovations and establish new partnerships.
Each year’s venue—typically a well-connected railway station or a modern exhibition center—is easily accessible by train, car, or public transportation. In this way, Rail Business Days reinforces its mission to be a platform for future-ready and sustainable mobility in Europe.
The Rail Business Days takes place annually, and therefore for the 6th time previsibly in June 2026 in Ostrava.
