The Connecting Europe Days is the leading European event aimed at discussing concrete measures and exchanging best practices to create a sustainable and smart transport and mobility network in Europe. It will bring together more than 2,500 participants from all EU Member States and neighbouring non-EU countries, in particular from partners in the Western Balkans, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova and Georgia, and will be attended by ministers, politicians, financial institutions, industry representatives, transport operators, the European Commission and related agencies.
