英国伯明翰国际铁路技术及设施展览会（RAILTEX / Infrarail）国际铁路技术及设施、铁路系统及铁路服务专业展览会，于1993年首次举办，两年一届，在英国伯明翰NEC国际会展中心举行，作为英国最权威的铁路设备、系统和服务展会，英国国际铁路设备展是世界各国铁路厂商展示新技术装备，提升企业形象，寻找合作伙伴，了解铁路发展需求，开拓国际市场的黄金通道。展商在展会上能够看到最新的技术成果，了解新的产品/服务并且有机会和行业专家会谈。
Railtex涵盖了铁路技术的各个方面，并为机车车辆技术、轨道和基础设施以及信号和通信等主要领域的制造商提供了展示。展览也是许多其他专业产品供应商的橱窗，这些产品对铁路和公共交通系统的高效和安全运营至关重要。其中包括车辆维护设备、收费系统、机车车辆租赁、铁路应用电子设备和电缆技术。
贸易观众则包括：干线和城市的轨道运营商、寻求合作的供应商、建设和维修承包商、铁路网络运营商、维修及保养公司、交通规划者和咨询商、交通管理专家、通信和数据处理专家、货运物流公司等。
英国铁路发展现状：
铁路工业的投资是英国交通投资战略的关键环节，近几年其额外的客运和货运服务的需求不断增加。轨道交通扩大承载量耗资七十六亿英镑，是耗资二百八十五亿英镑的英国铁路交通网的中心项目，当前许多项目正在进行中。
欧洲最大的基础设施项目—伦敦的CROSSRAIL正在建设中，这将会彻底改变英国首都的交通状况。同时英国投资五十亿英镑到伦敦地铁系统的现代化建设中，这些项目都为供应商提供了绝佳商机！
从长远来看，连接大城市之间的轨道和航空业日趋向高速和电气化方向发展，必将进一步刺激供应市场。
英国铁路行业的潜力巨大。但在当前紧缩的经济环境下，投资将受到严格审查，以确保获得利润。这也带来了新的挑战，供应商开发并提供新的产品和服务，以确保符合成本的效益增长。供应行业想要迎接这个新的挑战，就没有比参加英国国际铁路设备展览会 (RAILTEX)更快捷的通道。英国国际铁路设备展具备20多年的成功经验，是供应商和采购商合作交流的重要窗口，而且已经成为欧洲铁路行业领域的专业论坛。
