Since COVID-19 hit the world as a global pandemic, the importance of connectivity has become more obvious. Europe needs to be better prepared, do more stress tests on the infrastructure and increase infrastructure and connections between the Member States. Strategies have to be set to establish how critical entities can prevent, resist and recover from disruptions.

Digitalising Europe’s railways: what’s in for passengers and freight?

​The railway is a sustainable and futureproof mode of transport for both passengers and freight. To make the railways in Europe futureproof and to fulfil the ambitious goals of the European Green Deal a push of digitalisation is needed. On the Brenner axis we are committed to make rail better using new technology and digitalisation to increase the performance on the existing tracks and in the future to use the new Brenner Base Tunnel in the most efficient way possible. 

The Automotive Regions Alliance (ARA) was founded at the 150th Plenary Session of the CoR in June 2022 to represent the interests of European regions with an automotive industry, in order to accompany the fundamental change in this sector and its impact on our regions.
