Marco Pulci, Head of the Starnberg Tunnel Project Team, reflects on how the IPAT Assessment provided an independent perspective and helped shape the way the project is managed today.

On 20 and 21 April 2026, NETLIPSE held its 40th Network Meeting in Munich, kindly hosted by the Bavarian State Ministry of Housing, Construction and Transport (StMB) and Die Autobahn GmbH des Bundes. At this anniversary edition, 89 project management professionals from European client organisations met for two days of knowledge exchange, reflection and dialogue on the management and delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects in Europe. We are very happy to have welcomed this record number of delegates, including both long-standing NETLIPSE members and new delegates.

January 2026 marks an important moment for transport infrastructure in northern Slovakia. Two major projects in the Žilina region have reached key milestones: the completion of the Žilina rail hub, the largest railway construction project in the country’s history, and the official start of construction of a new section of the D3 highway towards Kysucké Nové Mesto. Together, these developments significantly enhance regional, national and international connectivity.

Electrified Devínska Nová Ves–Marchegg line boosts Bratislava–Vienna speeds and cuts 15 mins. Kysuce D3 highway works to improve mobility and safety begin.

Over 75 experts met in Amsterdam (6–7 Oct 2025) to tackle Europe’s infrastructure renewal: resilience, standardisation, cost drivers, approvals, collaboration, plus a Schiphol site tour.
