According to the organizers, Lietuvos geležinkeliai (LTG), the event will discuss measures aimed at strengthening military mobility and policy directions in preparation for the next multiannual EU budget. Insights drawn from the experience of the Ukraine war will also be shared during this forum.

Key participants in the forum include Andrius Kubilius, the EU Commissioner responsible for defense and space from Lithuania, as well as Magda Kopczynska, the Director-General for Mobility and Transport at the European Commission. The event will also see contributions from Robertas Zilė, Vice-President of the European Parliament, Generalmajor Detlev Simons, NATO JSEC Chief, and Oleksandr Pertsovykh, General Director of Ukrainian Railways.

Additionally, other notable figures such as Transport Minister Juras Taminskas, Chief Advisor to the President Deividas Matulionis, and Deputy Minister of National Defense Karolis Aleksa are expected to speak at the event. The discussions are anticipated to influence future policies and funding initiatives that address the evolving security challenges in Europe, particularly in light of ongoing tensions in Eastern Europe related to the conflict in Ukraine.
