TIES Living Lab Symposium: Lessons Learned and Driving Digital Innovation in Rail

Join us for an exclusive event where Industry leaders share the lessons learned from the TIES Living Lab R&D project and explore how the rail industry can advance innovation through digital technology.

 

TIES Living Lab was a transformative collaboration of 25 partners including government departments, academia, and business.

The focus of this collaboration was on driving smarter transport infrastructure using data, technology and Modern Methods of Construction (MMC) within live transport infrastructure projects. Focusing on 5 infrastructure, data research and digital demonstrator projects, TIES Living Lab showcases ways in which we can promote the use, integration and adoption of innovations that will drive productivity in major construction and infrastructure schemes.

This digital symposium will be in two parts:

-â–¶ Disseminate lessons learned and results from the TIES Living Lab, an IUK R&D funded project, exploring how innovative physical and digital demonstrators can benefit major rail infrastructure projects.

-â–¶ We will also be looking to the future and how digital technologies can be used to further advance the transformation of the industry.

This is an excellent opportunity to network and gain insights from industry leaders who are at the forefront of this evolution, with demonstrations and talks from:
