A snapshot from the forum held in Vietnam
Ineco has taken part in the EU–Vietnam Global Gateway Forum, a strategic meeting held in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi, bringing together European institutions, Vietnamese authorities and leading companies to drive investment projects in key sectors such as transport, energy, digitalisation and sustainable infrastructure.
The forum forms part of the European Union’s Global Gateway strategy, which aims to mobilise up to €400 billion in global investments by 2027, promoting sustainable, resilient and interconnected development worldwide.
During the transport seminar, Pablo Ramos, Deputy Director for the Europe, Africa, Asia and Oceania Land Transport Account at Ineco, participated as a panellist alongside representatives from Vietnam Railways Corporation, the Vietnam Railway Authority, DB Engineering & Consultancy, and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport (DG MOVE).
In his remarks, Ramos highlighted Spain’s extensive expertise in the planning, design and management of transport infrastructure, underlining the country’s high-speed rail model as an international benchmark for efficiency, sustainability and territorial cohesion. He also emphasised the opportunities for collaboration between Europe and Vietnam in developing innovative, low-carbon mobility solutions.
Ineco’s presence at the forum gains particular relevance in light of its current role as Project Manager for the preparatory phase of the North–South High-Speed Rail (HSR) corridor, which will connect Hanoi with Ho Chi Minh City.
In this capacity, the company is leading the feasibility study and design of this ambitious railway project, considered strategic for Vietnam’s economic and social development.
The project showcases Ineco’s ability to export the knowledge underpinning Spain’s railway model—recognised globally for its technical and economic efficiency—and adapt it to the specific needs of each region. It also consolidates the company’s position as a strategic partner in major international infrastructure programmes, as demonstrated by its previous projects around the world.
The event brought together more than 500 delegates, including Vietnam’s Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc, European Commissioner Jozef Síkela, and Nicola Beer, Vice-President of the European Investment Bank.
