PERES PROJECT: 1ST PHASE CONCLUDED WITH AN EVENT IN BRUSSELS

The first phase of “PERES – Promoting European Rail Excellence outSide EU” project concluded at an event in the Atrium14 business center in Brussels, gathering railway industry professionals from all over Europe.

Co-funded by the European Union’s COSME Programme, the PERES European Strategic Cluster Partnership (ESCP-4i) coordinated by DITECFER and composed of four other railway clusters from France, Germany, United Kingdom and Southeast Europe, explored the needs and potentials of the SMEs of the European Rail Supply Industry, and set up a framework for internationalisation to markets outside Europe.

The project started in January 2018, and has analysed over 250 SME in the railway industry from 10 European countries, seeking to create pan-European supply value-chains, locate potential solutions that can be successfully implemented in non-European markets, and identify the critical issues, the desired target countries and the type of support that European SMEs need in order to successfully offer their products and services on non-European markets.
