FS Engineering participates in the Italy–Finland round table

Rome, 2 March 2026

FS Engineering took part in the Italy–Finland business roundtable organised by and at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, providing its contribution to the discussion on how to develop European transport infrastructure and bilateral cooperation in the railway sector.

In its presentation, FS Engineering highlighted how strategic transport infrastructure is a pillar of European integration, because it strengthens economic resilience, improves competitiveness and accelerates the transition towards sustainable and multimodal mobility.

There was a special focus on the strong presence of the company in the Baltic States, thanks to the contracts concluded within the framework of the Rail Baltica project for the ENE (energy) and CCS (control-command and signalling) subsystems, as well as to the construction supervision operations carried out on behalf of the Latvian railway company EDZL for the main line in Latvia. This commitment is underpinned by a permanent presence in Riga, confirming FS Engineering’s role as a reliable, long-term technical partner.

FS Engineering highlighted the value of cooperation, within the framework of the Italy–Finland dialogue, aimed at developing more modern, safe and ‘future-proof’ cross-border corridors, capable of supporting the infrastructural integration of the Baltic region and the strengthening of European trade flows.

Building on this position, the main opportunities for collaboration with Finland were outlined, including:

• developing the TEN-T North Sea–Baltic corridor, which is fundamental for the interconnection of Northern European countries;
• modernising the Finnish rail network, with a particular focus on safety, digitisation and climate resilience;
• enhancing local mass transit, for more efficient, accessible and sustainable cities.

FS Engineering confirmed its willingness to provide the expertise, methodologies and know-how gained through its international operations, contributing to the construction of railway infrastructure that can meet EU-wide challenges, in terms of decarbonisation, safety and competitiveness.
