SmartRailecosystem
Preparations for the
SmartRail ecosystem began
in spring 2017 by Škoda
Transtech Ltd.
Škoda Transtech Ltd
receives Business
Finland’s monetary
support for its project.
1. innovation phase starts
in spring of 2019 supported
by Business Finland.
2. innovation phase starts
at the turn of the year
2019/2020.
3. innovation phase
intended to launch
during spring 2020.
The SmartRail ecosystem is essentially a
program for businesses and public-
owned tram operators.
The main goal of the ecosystem is to
strengthen and increase the
competitiveness of Finnish companies’
products in both the international and
national markets.

GoalsofSmartRailecosystemforyears2019-2021
It is important for the ecosystem that companies in the
ecosystem have common goals. A prerequisite for achieving
these goals is to create a working network around rail projects
in Finland.
