Franco-German synergy in the development of urban rail networks
In August 2023, ETF’s RATP sector and AGT, our German subsidiary, established a partnership aimed at strengthening collaboration between their teams. Driven by a common mission – to build and maintain urban rail networks – these entities quickly began to pool their resources and skills.
This strategic cooperation enables ETF’s RATP teams to provide valuable support to their German counterparts during periods of reduced activity, thereby strengthening AGT’s ability to respond effectively to a greater number of calls for tender. This partnership is an example of optimising resources to enhance ETF’s overall performance.
The first success of this collaboration came at the end of 2023. Three French employees have been sent to Germany to lend their expertise and support to AGT on a number of strategic projects. This intensive mission enabled the French and German teams to meet, discuss their respective working methods and significantly strengthen their collaboration. The feedback was unanimously positive, underlining the importance of cross-border cooperation in achieving common goals.
The Paris Olympic Games are causing a temporary interruption to worksites. The Île-de-France teams took the opportunity to return to Germany and continue the partnership.
