Join us for the Keepers' Summit 2022  in Vienna on 11 May  !

Palais Niederösterreich

Dear allIt is a great pleasure to hereby invite you to this year&#x27;s Keepers’ Summit “Pathway to 30 % modal share – rail freight’s digital future” in Vienna on 11 May 2022, organized jointly by UIP and VPI Austria as an “in-person” event.After the General Assemblies of UIP and VPI Austria in the morning, the Keepers’ Summit will focus on the concrete actions needed in view of a “rail freight revolution” that paves the way for a digital future and a modal share of at least 30%.The next chapter to our success story of 150 years of wagon leasing in Europe must contain innovative and modern building blocks to bolster rail freight’s role in European mobility and the European Green Deal. Voices at European and national level advocate for sustainable, green growth and the rail freight sector is well placed to argue its case that the more efficient and thus competitive it becomes, the faster modal shift can happen. As part of a system, we are conscious of the constraints and limitations but also of the leap step possible if there is a combined will to transform the transport sector through digitalization and automation.That is why we want to visualize together the pathway to 30% modal share:<ul><li>Get ready for high level keynote speeches and interactive deep dive panels</li></ul><ul><li>Be part of exchanges and debates with high level policy makers and representatives of the sector</li></ul><ul><li>Learn about your fellow National Associations (NAs) in a relaxed networking environment </li></ul>PROGRAMMEPalais Niederösterreich10:00 - 12:00 GENERAL ASSEMBLIES UIP AND VPI AUSTRIA12:00 STANDING LUNCH---Keepers&#x27; Summit13:30	CHECK IN14:00	OPENING Heiko Fischer, UIP President KEYNOTE Mark Topal-Gökceli, CTO OEBB14:45	PANEL DISCUSSIONSTo support the objectives of climate neutrality and increase rail freight’s modal share, we need to walk the talk:■	who is doing what to address the infrastructure related shortcomings: remove national barriers, increase capacity, coordinate works, …■	how will we transform rail freight and integrate it into the digital supply chain: deploy new technologies, define new operational realities, use innovation programmes, …– Q &amp; A –Invited speakers:■	Viktor Plank, Strategic network planning, ÖBB Infra■	Alexander Klacska, Chairman Transport and Logistics, Austrian Chamber of Commerce■	Jörg Nowaczyk, Chief Commercial Officer, GATX Rail Europe■	Andreas Mandl, CEO, LTE■	Libor Lochman, Counsellor for EU affairs.
