The International Railway Industry Exhibition - SIFER - is a biennial event, created in 1999; it held its first two editions in Paris Nord Villepinte (1999 and 2000), then moved to Lille in 2001 and changed its frequency to become biennial. This choice of Lille seemed natural to attract more international visitors, Lille seeming more at the heart of European Railways than Paris. This pivotal period for the railway industry was conducive to the development of an international exhibition to ensure its promotion:
- elimination of first class on the Île-de-France network in 1999
- creation of the TGV Méditerranée line in 2001
- liberalization of rail in 2003establishment of the decree relating to the interoperability of trans-European railway systems in 2005
- opening of the French market to international transport in 2009
It was in 2007 that the organizers decided to open an area within the exhibition dedicated to infrastructure, a fundamental segment of the railway industry. This area quickly grew to occupy more than a third of the total surface area of the exhibition. In 2011, SIFER passed the 400 exhibitor mark for the first time; today, the exhibition covers the entire railway supply chain, from rolling stock to infrastructure; SIFER is 20 countries exhibiting, 7000 professional visitors, 400 exhibitors!
