Renfe's Strategic Plan contemplates international expansion as one of the three pillars for the company's transformation.

Renfe Proyectos Internacionales was established in 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Renfe-Operadora State-Owned Enterprise, created to expand the company's international business.
