  • Day 2 : Thursday 15 March 09:30 to 14:30 
Barge to Business draws participants from across the broadest spectrum of Europe’s inland navigation sector, from the world of business to the most senior EU transport policymakers, from logistics managers to waterways authorities, and from independent skippers to the brains behind the latest technological innovations.

A major part of Barge to Business is the Conference, with top level speakers at this year’s event in Vienna, to include: 
  • Doris Bures, Austrian Federal Minister of Transport Innovation and Technology
  • Thomas Kitzweger of Agrana
  • Geir Høibye of Nox Fund

As well as keynote speakers, lively presentations and discussion, sessions will cover a wide range of topical issues, such as new technologies and  innovation in logistics, improving connectivity between road, rail & water, shipping agricultural products and, of course in Vienna, the growing use and development of the Danube.
