About the Event
The Canadian Urban Transit Research & Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC) is launching its first national Smart Rail Technology Conference 2020. This conference will focus on “Moving Canadians Forward” with the most advanced rail technologies available world-wide, many of which are designed and innovated in Canada.
Canada is a vast, expansive, beautiful country. To traverse it requires rail like none other. But low-cost high-frequency passenger rail has eluded most Canadians for decades. It’s time for change. The COVID-19 pandemic has opened our eyes to the need for rapid, extensive, and country-wide rail innovation that moves Canadians (and their freight) faster, cheaper and more sustainably than ever before.
Rail is critical to the growth of Canada as a global hub of innovation. It supports well-paying jobs and national economic growth. Leveraged properly, it can also support nation-wide technological innovation that addresses climate change while ensuring a high-quality of life for all Canadians.
At the Canadian Smart Rail Technology Conference 2020, participants will hear from industry experts, business leaders, and political representatives and decision-makers on the critical topics defining our nation’s rail future, including electrification, autonomy and connectivity, light-weighting, big data analytics, hyperloop technology, and post-pandemic rail recovery and growth.
Join us this November for a rail innovation conference that positions Canada as a leader in the global rail innovation dialogue.
