Markus Fälsch, Head of Marketing Communication Passenger Traffic at BARIG’s business partner Deutsche Bahn, outlines challenges and preparations of the German railway company with regard to infrastructure, capacity, and additional connections. #BARIG #DeutscheBahn #sustainablemobility #intermodaltransport #travelmanagement #UEFA #EURO2024

Happy Euro’s day to all those who celebrate! ️⚽️🎉 We thought we’d bring back our Friday fun fact to honour the occasion…with a football based #didyouknow Sustainability has been a key focus for UEFA in the planning of Euro 2024 in Germany, with an investment of €32m assigned specifically for their ESG strategy. Whilst Germany already had a number of energy-efficient stadiums ready to go, this will be the first tournament where all stadiums and public viewing areas use reusable cups, rail travel has been subsidised to incentivise rail trail between host cities rather than budget airline flights and stadiums will utilise renewable power to support floodlighting and media centre power consumption. There are a whole host of measures being taken and you can read more on the link below however we’re excited to see sustainability becoming a more conscious factor in the events we all love! Have a great weekend! 🌞 chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://lnkd.in/eVfd4mVg #euro2024 #sustainability #climatecrisis #sustainablesport

However, the German football federation didn’t assure that they would completely avoid flying, despite being the host team of the tournament in the so-called ‘greener’ Eurocup. If they decided to fully avoid flying for the whole competition, they could reduce their total emissions by 97% of CO2e! If all national teams decided to completely avoid planes for their journeys during the group stage, this will result in a 95% savings of CO2e emissions. This amount is equivalent to more than 150 times the annual carbon footprint of an average European!! National teams from countries neighbouring Germany, where shift from ✈️to🚆is possible and reasonable, can reduce their travel emissions to go to their base camp by 94% to 98%. On average, all national teams can reduce their emissions by 95%.

Current technical developments and the future of electrification in motorsport 27 September 2023 - 12.30-2pm https://bit.ly/43Ku7zp This webinar will focus on technical developments in the industry. While electric motorsport actually goes back over 100 years, it has been a serious discipline for around 10 years now and, in that time, there have been many innovations and technology introductions through the various championships that have been created. Presenting will be two renowned industry experts who will talk about these developments, how electric motorsport has changed the shape of electric drivetrains and what we can expect from the future. 

The Morocco-Spain tunnel built before the 2030 World Cup ?  THE MOROCCO-SPAIN TUNNEL BUILT BEFORE THE 2030 WORLD CUP ?  The Spanish Society for Studies for Fixed Communications across the Strait of Gibraltar (Secegsa) recently announced that feasibility studies for the construction of a tunnel linking Morocco and Spain are progressing, and both countries are firmly committed to carrying out this major project before the 2030 World Cup.  These new studies provided reassuring guarantees that a rail link could be established under the strait, linking the cities of Casablanca in Morocco and Madrid in Spain, Secegsa clarified that the project could be completed in five years, which would be a significant step forward for a project that had originally been launched in the eighties.  The project had been reactivated in February at the Spanish-Moroccan summit, marking an important milestone in the effort to make this major land link between Africa and Europe a reality.  In April, Spanish Transport Minister Raquel Sanchez and her Moroccan counterpart, Nizar Baraka, met to validate the studies carried out since 2009 by Secegsa and SNED, the Moroccan studies company This meeting played a crucial role in the progress of the project.  Following that meeting, the two sides agreed to relaunch the joint commission to study this project, which aims to establish a fixed connection between Africa and Europe.  The tunnel under the strait has become a major strategic feature for Morocco and Spain, part of the new roadmap for their relations, adopted in April 2022 during a meeting between Spanish President Pedro Sanchez and the King of Morocco, Mohammed VI, in Rabat.  This tunnel project is seen as an essential initiative to strengthen ties and connectivity between the two countries, as well as to promote economic development and cross-border trade in the region. 

The organization of the 2030 World Cup with Spain and Portugal requires investments for #Morocco which would reach 5 to 6 billion dollars. This is what Société Générale reveals in a recent analysis entitled “2030 World Cup Bid: Budgetary Impacts and Financial Markets”. This amount would be spread over the construction and renovation of stadiums, costs relating to training centers and general organizational costs. Financing the overall organizational cost would be made up of 2.3 billion USD from the state budget, 1.7 billion USD from public enterprises and 1 billion USD from other financing. a large part (2 billion USD) of the organizational cost should be directed towards the construction sector, 40,000 tonnes is the quantity of cement which would be necessary for the construction of a stadium with an average capacity of 40,000 seats, 300,000 tonnes is the quantity of cement required for the construction of 100 km of highways and 10,000 tonnes of steel required for the construction of a stadium with an average capacity of 40,000 seats. tourism revenues expected in 2030 would reach 12 billion USD. Likewise, 100,000 additional beds must be provided to meet demand in the host cities. the telecoms sector would benefit from the organization of the 2030 World Cup through, for example, the increase in voice and data traffic, the improvement of the country's network infrastructure as well as the acceleration of the implementation of 5G Mabrouk for #Morocco which will take a lead over its neighbors #football #worldcup2030 #fifa

As we eagerly anticipate the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, let’s take a moment to reflect on the iconic symbol that embodies the spirit of the Games: the Olympic Symbol (https://lnkd.in/eCxyfrCV). This powerful emblem, composed of five interlaced rings: blue, yellow, black, green and red, represents the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Games. Did you know that World Intellectual Property Organization – WIPO (https://lnkd.in/eeSkKCFr) administers the Nairobi Treaty on the Protection of the Olympic Symbol? Adopted in Nairobi on September 26, 1981, this treaty obliges Contracting Parties to prohibit any commercial use of the Olympic Symbol and to refuse or invalidate the registration of any mark containing or consisting of it, unless authorized by the International Olympic Committee. As we look forward to Paris 2024, let's celebrate not only the incredible athletes who will compete but also the Nairobi Treaty. The Treaty is a true testament to international cooperation and respect for intellectual property, reflecting the Olympic values of excellence, respect and friendship. #OlympicGames #Paris2024 #OlympicsParis #OlympicSymbol #WIPO #NairobiTreaty #IOC  

🚂🌊 A new train road is planned to run between Europe and Africa (via an underwater tunnel). Spain and Morocco are considering running trains between the two countries via an underwater tunnel under the Strait of Gibraltar. The idea first appeared in 1979, but only now the Spanish authorities have started to seriously discuss it. Right now, the journey between Madrid, Spain, and Tangier, Morocco, takes nine hours by land with a ferry crossing. The 27.6km tunnel could reduce journey times to five and a half hours. The project is estimated to cost billions of euros and will take up to five years to complete. It is planned that the tunnel will be ready for the 2030 FIFA World Cup (to be held in Spain, Portugal and Morocco). #project #infrastructure #Europe #Africa #tunnel #Spain #Morocco Source: https://lnkd.in/dNe8WPuJ.

I knew France was pretty big compared to the UK but I didn't imagine the journey of the Olympic Torch would take more than 2 months! How does that compare to the products that you source from overseas? I suspect unlike the torches meticulous schedule you won't have such control and visibility on your supply chain! This week alone I have spoken to several businesses that want better visibility of their supply chain and the impact this could have on their operations. Some have been manufacturers in the UK waiting for raw materials and others having their products made overseas. The common theme is getting their products in to the hands of their customers on time. Common concerns included missing strategic customer commitments, increased costs, manufacturing downtime, and not having a solution that can help assess risk and make informed decisions. #Olympics #SupplyChain https://lnkd.in/eYm3rQft
