Reshaping and enhance mobility
SNCF’s goal is to transform the mobility of goods and people into an accessible, seamless, and high-performing experience. To achieve this, the company leverages digitalization, network modernization, and continuously evolving traveller information. In doing so, it seeks to innovate through pioneering services that not only meet industry standards but also anticipate and exceed emerging user expectations.

The rail network also provides a strong environment for technological innovation. It supports not only infrastructure development but also daily operations. Technologies such as connected systems, data analytics, digital modelling, and immersive tools help optimize network maintenance. Moreover, they improve projections for major projects and enhance skills through training and continuous learning. Designed to complement human expertise, these solutions reflect SNCF’s long-standing culture of innovation. Furthermore, collaboration with institutional, industrial, technological, and academic partners strengthens this ecosystem. Together, these efforts enable SNCF to shape the mobility systems of tomorrow while continuously improving the experience for today’s travellers.
