The Smartrail Ecosystem, initiated by Škoda Transtech Ltd in 2017, aims to enhance the competitiveness of Finnish companies in national and international markets through co-creation and collaboration. It focuses on several thematic areas such as intelligent vehicle technologies, automation, and urban rail services, with concrete goals for service development and partnerships. Current projects include a training simulator for Tampere trams and a bidding success for supplying trams to Mannheim, Germany, indicating the ecosystem's potential for growth and international expansion.
