About Us
Hyperloop Belarus is dedicated to the idea of hyperloop and related high-speed rail technologies, and their potential application in the region of Central-Eastern Europe (Intermarium).
Our aim is to promote the hyperloop technology, influence opinions of key stakeholders in the region, develop further the idea of tube transport, educate the general public about its advantages, and help identify the best high-speed solution for the region as a whole.
The Region of Three Seas – Baltic, Black and Adriatic – is crucial to any trans-European infrastructure, and its strategic choices will have continent-wide ramifications.
