In a continuous global learning journey, SILKROAD 4.0 organizes a series of inspirational gatherings in order to connect people and technologies across borders: a "Nomadic Davos" – a do-tank for the future.

The SILKROAD 4.0 delegation is traveling around the globe, visiting thought leaders and technologies of the future in the different knowledge ecosystems along its route.

Together we aim to identify the questions that are worth asking and steps worth to be taken.

Mobility & Transport are undergoing epochal transformative change and development, including with the advent of digital and green mobility across Europe and in China. In Europe, the Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) provides the blueprints for the future of intelligent, integrated transport across all modes as well as inter-modality. At the same time, the land-based Silk Roads are rapidly interconnecting the EU – primarily via railways – with the rest of Eurasia. Hungary is emerging as a key logistics hub in the EU and with respect to transcontinental Silk Road rail transport. However, different systems, organizations, rules, and technical standards must be harmonized if free movement of goods and people across Eurasia is to be achieved.

SPEAKERS

Andreas Breinbauer

Rector (FH) Prof. (FH) Dr.; University of Applied Sciences BFI Vienna

Keynote - "The BRI and Europe- an holistic view. How to create a win-win-situation?"
The China led BRI is a connectivity project and regionally and thematically unrestricted, the infrastructure is the visible part and one of 6 pillars of the BRI and linked with other Chinese Plans and Strategies. Especially and although there is currently not always a real win-win situation in the primarily Chinese-financed BRI projects for all partners, cooperations in the context of sustainable supply chains, green logistics and city logistics could be a good starting point for more intensive cooperation between China and Europe.

Mario Holzner

Executive Director at The Vienna Institute for International Economic Studies

Keynote - "The European Silk Road"
Much of Europe’s infrastructure is in a bad state, even in some wealthy parts of Europe, such as Germany. Europe’s periphery is underdeveloped and has difficulties to catch up, in part because of substantial infrastructure deficiencies. In this context wiiw proposes a European Silk Road as a combination of an e-mobility motorway, high-speed rail, ports and logistics centres that would connect the industrial areas of the west with the populous, but less developed, regions in the east of the continent.

Bernhard Ebner

Business Unit Manager Intermodal, Rail Cargo Group

Keynote - "The Eurasian railway corridor"
The Silk Road rail connections acts as excellent trigger for new developments and growth opportunities in the intermodal railway transportation area. Therefore it is necessary to build an extensive intermodal network, which not only allows eco friendly transportation, but also provides cost and time efficient solutions to the industry.
