From 24 to 26 June 2025, Lille will be hosting the 14ᵉ edition of SIFER, the International Railway Industry Exhibition, the only B2B event dedicated to the railway industry in France.
Every two years since 1999, SIFER has brought together the entire rail ecosystem in one place: rolling stock manufacturers, rail operators, infrastructure developers, technology suppliers, equipment suppliers, engineering companies, maintenance specialists, regulatory bodies, research institutes and innovative industries.
At the last edition in 2023, more than 7,000 visitors walked the aisles of Lille Grand Palais. This is a record number, attesting to the strategic role played by this event in the French rail industry and symbolising the dynamism of the market. In 2025, more than 300 exhibitors from 14 countries - including around a hundred newcomers - will be showcasing their innovations at the heart of a booming sector.
