International Design Forum 2024
Designing Attractive Passenger Experiences – Innovative Public Transport Interiors for Today and Tomorrow
On 25 September 2024, we hosted the International Design Forum 2024 at InnoTrans, focusing on pioneering interiors for local and regional transport. In front of a full house, esteemed companies and design studios, including Alstom, büro+staubach, OTTOBAHN, NVGTR, N+P Innovation Design and Hitachi showcased their innovative solutions.
In two engaging panels, expert speakers from leading industry players such as PriestmanGoode, DB Regio, Hamburger Hochbahn and EDAG ENGINEERING SPAIN discussed how to plan tendering processes to achieve positive results, and how design can enhance the travel experience despite rising passenger density and fluctuating demand.
Many thanks to all speakers and the engaged audience for participating.
We hope to see you at #IDF26 to continue the discussion!
