Vista på Railcph 2025

This morning at RAILcph / BaneBranchen, the CEO of Banedanmark, Peter Jonasson, delivered a compelling keynote on the future of railway infrastructure.

The message was clear: rail is more popular than ever, and massive investments have strengthened the system. But we’re facing a critical challenge — cost. Building and maintaining rail remains many times more expensive than road alternatives.

The path forward? Focus on sufficient solutions. That means smart, cost-effective investments, modern asset management, streamlined standards, and leveraging digital innovation like AI and modular IT systems.

He also stressed the importance of talent and inclusion, working to open the sector to professionals from diverse backgrounds and for example improving accessibility for women in operational roles.

Banedanmark is setting ambitious goals — and calling on the whole sector to help make rail greener, leaner, and more efficient.

A bold and honest call to action. Let’s build a better railway, together.
