It aimed at fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing between Germany and Colombia in the field of railway transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After warm words of welcome by the hosting institutions, the symposium kicked off with a speech by Ferney Camacho, Infrastructure Director of the Ministry of Transportation of Colombia. He delivered a compelling address on the reactivation of railroads in Colombia, shedding light on the latest developments and the major needs identified within this sector. Mr. Camacho also emphasized the Colombian government&#8217;s commitment to revitalizing the railway infrastructure as a way to enhance connectivity, foster economic growth, and promote environmental sustainability. He expressed optimism about the future of railway transport in Colombia, envisioning a modern, efficient, and sustainable railway system that leverages global expertise to meet its unique challenges and opportunities, not only at a local level but as a country with a strategic geographical location for the transit of goods and passengers throughout the continent.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-grid  layout-grid layout-grid--outer-margin-small layout-grid--expanded\"><div class=\"grid grid--child-margin-small\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-3-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<p>His contribution was followed by Simon Herchen, Minister Counselor and Deputy Head of the Embassy of Germany, who explained the significant role of railway infrastructure in the socio-economic development in Germany. Subsequent panels on the transfer of German experience and knowledge to the Colombian railroads and Germany&#8217;s historical legacy to Colombia through Metro de Medellin, led to another focal point of the symposium: the relevance of international partnerships, particularly with German companies, in transferring knowledge, technology, and best practices to Colombia. By drawing lessons from Germany&#8217;s advanced railway system, Colombia can embark on a path toward creating a more connected and interoperable transportation network which benefits from high-standard regulations that guarantee efficiency and sustainability. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-3-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-figure\"><figure class=\"figure\"><div class=\"figure__inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"figure__image\" src=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733.png\" srcset=\"https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-1024x545.png 1024w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-768x409.png 768w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-1536x818.png 1536w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-2048x1090.png 2048w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-520x277.png 520w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-768x409.png 768w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-1280x681.png 1280w, https:\/\/db-eco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/symposium_Carsten_Puls-e1708347824733-1920x1022.png 1920w\" alt=\"Panel talk by Carsten Puls, Metro de Medellin and Siemens\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2044\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 1330px) calc(((1200px -

Railway projects must be planned from their purpose. The needs of the end user and the purpose must be taken into account, and this defines the design. Our experience in operations facilitates the planning process and helps to consider all the factors necessary to develop efficient, forward-looking, and truly sustainable projects. We believe this is very important for Colombia right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dbec-core-layout-column  column is-6-small is-6-medium column--expanded\"><div class=\"layout-column\">\n<p>The event agenda was also enriched with <a href=\"https:\/\/european-union.europa.eu\/index_en\">key contributions from experts representing the European Union<\/a>, the National Infrastructure Agency (ANI) and the National Development Fund (FDN). They emphasized important topics such as financing and the integral structuring of railway projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As another step to further intertwine the German-Colombian railway industry and promote knowledge transfer, the Colombian participants were invited to form a delegation for this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.innotrans.de\/en\/\">InnoTrans, the leading international trade fair for transport technology<\/a>, which takes place in Berlin.
