The 16th International Railway Fair (TRAKO) is set to take place from September 23 to 26, 2025, in Gdańsk, at the AMBEREXPO Exhibition and Congress Center. This event is not only the largest and most prestigious meeting of the rail transport industry in Poland but also the second largest in Europe. TRAKO serves as a platform for showcasing the current level of development in transport systems and railway infrastructure, both domestically and internationally.
This year's fair promises to be a significant event with an impressive lineup of exhibitors. In 2023, TRAKO welcomed 617 unique exhibitors from 30 countries, filling an exhibition space of over m². The fair attracts representatives from every link in the industry's supply chain, including management boards, operators, manufacturers, suppliers of innovative technologies, and more. This diverse gathering offers a unique opportunity for attendees to learn about the comprehensive offerings of the rail industry, establish valuable contacts, and discover the latest trends.
TRAKO is also renowned for its educational and career-oriented programs. One such event is the Education and Career Day, which provides a forum for dialogue between employers and future railway industry specialists. Additionally, TRAKO hosts competitions that recognize outstanding achievements in various aspects of rail technology, infrastructure, and social responsibility through 13 prestigious awards.
The fair's location at AMBEREXPO Exhibition and Congress Center in Gdańsk ensures a recognizable and well-seen venue. This location has been repeatedly checked for organizing international fairs and conferences due to its character and reliability.
Several prominent companies have expressed their enthusiasm about participating in TRAKO. For instance, Paweł Choduń from MEDCOM Sp. z o.o., Krzysztof Niemiec from TRAKTEC SA, and Krzysztof Zdziarski from PESA Bydgoszcz SA have all highlighted the importance of these meetings for exchanging experiences and exploring new solutions within the railway industry.
TRAKO's commitment to innovation is further demonstrated by its Start-Up Innovation Salon, which provides a platform for emerging companies to showcase their latest developments. Moreover, TRAKO offers special programs tailored for children to engage with railway technology through interactive activities like "The World of the Little Railway."
In summary, TRAKO is set to be an exciting event that brings together key players in the rail transport industry.
