Morocco: emerging market for railway and station professionals

Gare de Marrakech, train station

Moroccan investments in railways are expected to soar to more than 3 billion euros in the coming years. Hundreds of kilometers of railroad tracks are getting refurbished or built from scratch. The same goes for power line catenaries. The country will have an operational high speed trainline by 2017. Add to that the imminent construction of dozens of bridges for both rail, cars and pedestrians.

With a booming population, a burgeoning infrastructure and growing affluency, Africa in general and Morocco in particular offer incredible business opportunities for railway, train and infrastructure professionals. To get you up to speed about this emerging market and other innovations, we invite you to the NEXTSTATION 2015 conference in Marrakech, Morocco from 21-22 October, 2015.
