Innovation at Alstom
Driving mobility towards new perspectives
As a creative pioneer in rail mobility, our experience drives us to look at things differently. We're constantly adapting because we look at the world with fresh eyes and a new perspective. We take the century of embedded knowledge we have accumulated from our legacy and apply it to new solutions for the future. Because the one thing we can all be sure of is that the world is constantly changing.

Our mission is to lead the way to greener and smarter mobility worldwide.
With solid demographic growth, rising urbanisation, and growing environmental and health concerns supported by legislation or consumer behaviour, sustainable transportation will remain a focus as the sector remains a significant contributor to worldwide emissions. From reducing environmental impact to improving the passenger experience, innovation in the rail industry is making a difference. The rail industry is more than just trains and tracks: it serves the noble cause of decarbonising transportation and positively impacting society.

At Alstom, we understand what moves people —anywhere, everywhere.
We’re explorers, creative thinkers, researchers, and pioneers. We’re curious and keep our eyes and minds open, exploring mobility in every way to push forward, to move the world and discover new paths. We create new or improved solutions for our customers and passengers from new ideas. We push the boundaries of what is possible because we don’t believe in the impossible. It’s how, in 2007, we captured the world record for a conventional wheeled passenger high-speed train —reaching a speed of 574.8 km/h.

Innovation is a collective journey.

Innovation in the now, innovation for the future
Innovation is in our DNA. We believe in people development, project development and innovation for everyone by everyone.
