Welcome Note
The development of the railway corridor between the North Sea harbour in Rotterdam and the
Mediterranean harbour in Genoa is one of the most important transport projects in Europe.
The north-south railway axis known as “Corridor 24” in the European planning of traffic routes leads
through four countries and connects European top regions with an enormous economic power, a
high population density and a growing traffic volume.
Mannheim as a significant railway intersection is centrally located on axis no. 24. Therefore, the
improvement of this traffic corridor is also of great importance for the future economic development
of the Metropolitan Region Rhine-Neckar.
Günther H. Oettinger
Minister-President of Baden-Württemberg
The future development of the European Corridor 24 Rotterdam-Genoa is of great importance – not
only for local and regional authorities. It also concerns numerous enterprises along the northsouth corridor that have a vital interest in the further improvement of transport capacities and the
removal of bottlenecks. The European Corridor Conference on 7 May 2010 will gather all relevant
stakeholders from fields like logistics, harbours, railway, spatial planning and politics in the centre
of the corridor: In Mannheim.
You will have the unique opportunity to present yourself to a top-class expert audience from all over
north-west Europe as an exhibitor or sponsor: Decision-makers from the European Union, from
member states and their regions as well as major representatives of transport and logistics enterprises.
Take the opportunity and make new business contacts here!
See you soon in Mannheim.

First Mayor of Mannheim
Chairman of the planning committee

The m:con may for justifiable reasons, in particular if the amount of available
