Connecting Europe and the Nordic capitals by high-speed rail

Why you should join this talk

In November 2025, the European Commission presented its plan to accelerate the development of high-speed rail across the European Union. The plan aims to deliver fast and affordable train travels across borders. It outlines actions related to infrastructure investments and roll-out, the regulatory framework for rail services, strengthening the European rail sector and EU-level governance and coordination.

The newly published report Nordic Capitals Railway – a more united North, a stronger Europe puts forward a compelling vision for a high-speed rail connection linking Helsinki, Stockholm and Oslo. According to the report, such a connection could become a long-term engine of growth, security and integration for the entire Nordic region.

Join this Scandria Alliance Talk to learn more about the European Commission’s high-speed rail plan, to explore how a high speed rail linking the Nordic capitals could deepen Nordic–EU integration and to discuss how the visionary Nordic Capitals Railway initiative can contribute to the European high-speed rail plan.
