The Portuguese Railway Platform Association is a joint initiative gathering the players in the domestic rail system divided up into huge public and private companies, SME, non-corporate bodies within the SI&I and other corporate associations.

 

They are all moved by the following goals:

​

• Increasing competitiveness of the national rail system at both efficiency and attractiveness levels;

• Developing new products and systems in the railway business;

• Contributing to greater quality and availability of the national rail infrastructure and to deliver safe and high quality rail passenger and freight services. 

​

The aim is that PFP can be known as a dynamic and proactive cluster in pursuing a collective efficiency strategy and a place for knowledge sharing as well as value chains and network developing. The end result would be better competitiveness, and a greater innovation ability coupled with a radical new way of tackling the overseas rail sector.
