The UITP World Congress and Mobility and City Transport Exhibition is the most influential international business forum in the public transportation sector, attracting the world’s city planners, urban and regional passenger transport operators and authorities, system integrators, service companies, as well as the industry’s leading manufacturers and technology providers. The 57th Congress, held in Helsinki, Finland, attracted over 2,000 delegates, 2,900 business to business visitors, and 277 exhibiting companies. We are expecting more than 6,000 participants in Vienna.

This event provides American companies involved in public transport systems and equipment with an  excellent opportunity to reach public transport partners and decision-makers from across Europe, and especially from Eastern Europe where very large infrastructure projects are planned in these sectors.

In order to ensure that U.S. companies get the very most out of this event, the Federal Transit Administration and the U.S. Commercial Service are offering a business program exclusively for U.S. exhibitors. We will:

• Promote participating U.S. companies to industry contacts throughout Central and South Central Europe;
• Support US company staff before and during the conference, including assistance with exhibit space, communications with the show organizers, and language assistance;
• Conduct an exclusive half-day seminar informing US companies about upcoming public transportation projects in Central and South Central Europe, along with tips on how to do business in the various countries;
• Hold a networking dinner exclusively for U.S. business and potential clients, customers, and business partners.

CS Bucharest urges American companies involved in public transport systems and equipment to consider exhibiting in UITP's World Congress and Mobility and Public Transport Exhibition June 7-11, 2009 in Vienna, Austria. This event provides an excellent opportunity to reach public transport partners and decision-makers from across Europe, but especially from Eastern Europe where very large infrastructure projects are planned in these sectors. Several official delegations will visit the conference and exhibition from Central and Southeast Europe, and there remains an opening for American companies to secure exhibition space. The U.S. Commercial Service will provide on-site support to American businesses at the event in order to facilitate business introductions or provide information about the public transport opportunities in the region.

CS Bucharest also extends an invitation to all companies involved in the public transportation sector to participate to the exposition, as it brings together the latest innovations in mobility.
