Today, Venice hosts the UIP Keepers' Summit, a major event for the European rail freight industry. The summit, organized by the International Union of Wagon Keepers (UIP) alongside a local national association, is bringing together top figures from across the sector.

Discussions cover key topics like boosting wagonload traffic, improving service quality, and making rail freight a more resilient and appealing option across Europe. Representatives from national ministries, the European Parliament, and the European Commission are all participating, aiming to drive significant advancements in the sector.

The day’s agenda is packed with in-depth panels. The first major session, "Rising to the DAC Challenge," features leaders like Pierluigi Navone from ANSFISA and Sabrina De Filippis of Mercitalia Logistics, who are discussing the rollout of new technologies and strategic planning for the future. The following discussions will tackle infrastructure challenges and broader integration issues, with contributions from Gianpiero Strisciuglio of RFI and other key industry players. Later in the day, the focus will shift to the political and financial support necessary for maintaining and growing rail freight capabilities, highlighted by talks from Enrico Pujia of the Italian Ministry of Transport and MEP Marco Campomenosi.
