Held at a pivotal stage in Indonesia’s railway modernization, the summit comes amid the expansion of the Jakarta MRT network, the continued development of the Whoosh High-Speed Rail, and preparations for smart transportation systems in the country’s new capital, IKN. Organizers say IRS 2026 aims to become a strategic platform for regional collaboration, innovation, and investment in the rail sector.
The two-day summit will explore topics including RIPNAS 2030–2045 implementation, AI-powered rail operations, low-carbon infrastructure, metropolitan rail integration, Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), and ASEAN railway cooperation. The program will also include keynote sessions, panel discussions, a technical exhibition, and business matchmaking meetings.
Fadjar Dwi Wishnuwardhani, S.E., M.Si., Deputy IV at the Executive Office of the President of Indonesia (KSP), has been confirmed as a keynote speaker at IRS 2026, where he is expected to share insights on Indonesia’s national transportation strategy and the future direction of railway development.

Representatives from Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation, PT KAI, MRT Jakarta, LRT Jakarta, and other major rail institutions are also expected to attend.
More than 300 delegates from over 15 countries are expected to participate, representing government agencies, rail operators, infrastructure developers, rolling stock manufacturers, signaling providers, financial institutions, and TOD developers.
