Swiss Business Hub Central Europe

“What is it like to be an Ambassador of a country that has one of the most reliable rail infrastructure networks?” – with this question started humorously yesterday's meeting Mr. Deputy Minister Piotr Malepszak, responsible for the railways at the Polish Ministry of Infrastructure Ministerstwo Infrastruktury.   During yesterday's meeting of HE Ambassador Filliez Fabrice with the Polish Deputy Minister of Infrastructure Piotr Malepszak, the recent activities in the railway sector of the Embassy of Switzerland in Poland and Swiss Business Hub Central Europe were summarized, including the May study visit of the Swissrail Industry Association and meetings of Swiss railway entrepreneurs with Polish railway companies and infrastructure managers like: PKP Polskie Linie Kolejowe S.A., PKP CARGO S.A. or Centralny Port Komunikacyjny.   Deputy Minister Piotr Malepszak emphasized Poland's openness to Swiss investments and the exchange of experiences and good practices, as Poland has got an ambitious plan to develop and modernize the railway infrastructure in the upcoming years.   “Seeing the ambitious plans that Poland wants to implement, I see a lot of scope for potential cooperation and the opportunity to share Swiss innovative solutions tested in the geographically difficult Swiss conditions to create a win-win situation for both countries” – said Ambassador Fabrice Filliez.
