PARTNERS
The  RAILECT  partners will provide  a well-balanced  group as they fit into a supply chain leading to the final
prototype system. The Consortium believes that they  provide the  best  people with the best facilities, to
successfully  deliver the RAILECT  project. Together,  the SMEs  and RTDs  introduce  a diverse range of
experience from across Europe and have no internal competitive elements. The End User, who supports
this project, will  provide feedback  on their  requirements, and they will commit staff time to support
the project and provide access to facilities during the early  stages of the  project  and at the field
trials.

The  consortium  consists  of  8  partners  from  5  member  states,  including  4   SMEs  each
representing  a  different  EU  country.  The  SMEs   range   from  service  providers  to  high
technology  equipment &  software  organisations.  In addition there are strong participants
from Research (3 participants) and an Industrial Sector participant, who has a strong and
particular interest for rail welding.
