This year, DB E.C.O. Group is proud to contribute both as Evening Reception Sponsor and through expert knowledge sharing. A highlight will be the presentation by Sebastian Philipp, Senior Manager, Smart Mobility & Digitalisation at DB Engineering & Consulting, on the topic “Stations 360 – Smart Stations”. His talk will explore how stations can serve as intelligent, integrated urban hubs that ensure seamless connectivity and a high quality of stay. Drawing on Deutsche Bahn’s experience, he will show how a smart station functions not as isolated digital tools, but as a true “system of systems” integrating signage, energy, safety, and real-time services. Practical examples – from situational awareness centers to smart grids and digital twins – will illustrate how these innovations create more sustainable and resilient infrastructure.
In addition, Stefan Geisperger, Managing Director International Markets and Consulting, will join as a panelist on the topic “Designing stations for all: Why DEI Matters in HSR Projects”. His contribution will highlight the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in shaping high-speed rail stations that serve communities effectively and sustainably.
We are also pleased to feature expertise from our subsidiary infraView: Bernd Heer, Head of Permanent Way, and Efekan Yildiz, Business Development & Sales Manager, will present on “Real-time Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance Solutions”. Their session will showcase how cutting-edge digital tools and data-driven approaches enable more reliable, efficient, and cost-effective rail infrastructure management.
HSR Asia 2025 provides a premier platform to engage with the international rail community, exchange best practices, and reaffirm our commitment to smart and sustainable mobility in the region. We look forward to the dialogue!
