Collaborations with stakeholders of the innovation ecosystem

At Renfe we collaborate with associations and innovation agents through agreements that allow us to maintain integration and permanent contact with the leaders of the innovation community.

These collaborations provide us with various opportunities, such as the use of these communities to channel the challenges to which we want to provide a disruptive response, learn about new technologies and generate valuable relationships with other leaders and key figures in the innovation ecosystem.

Examples of this are the collaborations established with entities and associations such as:
 

In the same vein, we are an active member of associations such as In-move and Rail Innovation Hub, where we participate in the board of directors and are aware of the news associated with the development of the railway sector at an international level. These partnerships promote and distribute knowledge of new technologies applicable to mobility and multimodal logistics, which will allow us to maintain our leadership as a railway operator.

There are other additional benefits of collaboration with these entities, such as the possibility of delivering specific training on topics of interest, providing support in the search for external talent, provision of spaces, as well as appearances and advertising in the media.
