Taking place every two years, TRAKO is the second largest rail show in Europe with more than 15,000 visitors and 600 exhibitors. The exhibition brings together all elements of the rail industry from passenger rail, light rail, freight as well as infrastructure with industry attendance and participation from across the board.

The Midlands Engine initiative aims to boost economic growth across the Midlands, including through enhanced trade and investment. The Department for International Trade is looking to lead a market visit to this year’s TRAKO International Railway Fair, with a bespoke programme designed to turn export aspirations into a reality.

The visit is particularly suited to businesses that have never exported before, haven’t exported in the last year, export to fewer than four countries or export less than 10 per cent of turnover.

During the visit you can expect to:

• Visit an operator and see first hand how your offer may sit in their rail market
• Participate in a programme of seminars by key Polish rail organisations
• Benefit from an exhibition stand in the UK Pavilion and feature in a mission brochure showcasing your strengths
• Meet with commercial officers from the wider CEE region to discuss market entry and opportunities for you
• Explore and have an insight into the second largest rail trade show in Europe
• Research market trends and competition from both the Poland and wider CEE rail markets
• Network amongst buyers, press and exhibitors to establish new contacts
• Participate in the conference programme available during Trako to increase market knowledge and awareness
• Attend a network session with potential partners, collaborators and distributors
