    For the sustainable future of mobility, logistics and rail infrastructure, we are finding digital answers to our common challenges together with the railway companies and within the Group.

    Digital interconnection

    When it comes to the success of Strong Rail, DB's overarching strategy, digital solutions are just as vital as the broad collaboration between all those involved in interconnection processes and Group programmes. Digital interconnection brings together DB colleagues from different corporate departments and business units who work on the same digital topics and want to share knowledge to accomplish more. The focus is always on the end customer, with the aim of making rail travel an experience once again with the help of tailor-made digital solutions.

    Using digital solutions to provide passengers with the best travel experience across all modes of mobility, from travel request to destination.

    Infrastructure

    When IT provides professional support for infrastructure through digitalisation, rail operations are made measurable and efficient, thus providing a framework for greater capacity and punctuality. The result is a modern digital production platform for rail travel.
