The symposium is supported by a number of leading international companies, including VDT Technology, ČD Informační systémy, SUDOP Group, ČD Cargo, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, Czech Post, CONTINENTAL, Smart Plan, Association for Transportation Telematics, Railway Administration and Air Traffic Control.

The scientific committee consisting of leading experts from the Faculty of Transportaiton Sciences of the CTU in Prague, namely the Dean of the faculty, Professor Ondřej Přibyl, Professor Miroslav Svítek and doc. Tomáš Horák, is responsible for the professional content of the symposium.
