The 9th Infrastructure and Transport Conference (ITC 2026) is taking place these days, bringing together experts, government representatives, and market executives. The conference is one of the most significant events in the sector in our country, as it examines the challenges and opportunities for the modernization of transport networks.
At the center of the discussions was the speech by Giannis Bitzis, an executive at EY Parthenon. Mr. Bitzis analyzed modern trends in infrastructure, emphasizing the need for sustainable development and the digital transformation of networks. His proposals concern both road and rail transport, which are critical pillars for the Greek economy.
Conference participants emphasized that Greece is at a critical juncture, as investments are required to improve the safety and efficiency of transport modes. The use of new technologies and the utilization of European funds are considered essential steps for upgrading the infrastructure that serves thousands of citizens every day.
At the same time, the impacts of climate change on project design were discussed. Experts underlined that new infrastructure must be resilient to extreme weather phenomena, ensuring the seamless movement of people and goods throughout the territory.
The conference concludes with the extraction of conclusions that are expected to form the basis for the future planning of the national strategy.
