The programme for the 2025 ASECAP Days conference to be held in Madrid in May is 99% finalised and has more than 70 speakers confirmed.
This year’s event from May 26-28 is hosted by SEOPAN - Spain's Association of Construction and Concession Companies for Infrastructure - and will be at the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding hotel, a stylish retreat in the city’s financial district. Over the years the building has housed everything from Madrid’s first Michelin-star restaurant to Microsoft’s headquarters. It re-opened in September 2014 when it unveiled an ultra-contemporary look. Delegates can take advantage of special room rates at the NH Collection Madrid Eurobuilding.

As with all previous 51 ASECAP Days conferences, the Madrid event promises to offer exceptional opportunities for networking, knowledge gathering and social interaction. ASECAP - the European Association of Operators of Toll Road Infrastructure - has organised the best and the brightest speakers within the European tolling sector. They will empart their wealth of experience and knowledge to hundreds of delegates from across Europe and beyond. Attendees will hear about the latest trends and challenges in transportation and infrastructure through a programme of thought-provoking discussions and practical solutions.
The theme for the event is “Challenges of future mobility - the role of road infrastructure”. Several years ago, European motorway operators started a major shift towards greener mobility. However, more investment is needed to make a successful green transition. To face this challenge, toll road infrastructure operators propose to foster green projects, including the transformation of the infrastructure to host electric cars, buses and trucks as part of green mobility solutions for all road users.
The 52nd ASECAP Days will focus on how it would be possible to foster these safe and mobility solutions by stimulating investment aimed at reaching the European Union’s objectives of vision zero in terms of fatalities and vision zero in term of CO₂ emissions. Delegates will also hear panel discussions about sustainable financing scheme to support these transformations and developments without burdening public budgets.
Topics to be addressed will include:
- sustainable road financing schemes;
- innovation for the next generation of traffic management;
- digital twin-based maintenance and monitoring for road infrastructure;
- tolling system and CO₂ reduction for ‘Net Zero’ targets;
- road safety for reaching ‘zero’, what needs to be done and how;
- the latest in toll collection;
- cooperative, connected and automated mobility – CCAM;
- improvements in mobility data and platforms for enhanced services and cyber security;
- the impact of deployment of zero emission vehicles on road infrastructure.

ASECAP is a membership organisation whose member networks span more than 81,300km of motorways, bridges and tunnels across 17 countries. The organisation’s purpose is to defend and develop the system of motorways and road infrastructures in Europe applying tolls as a means to ensure the financing of their construction, maintenance and operation.
ASECAP exchanges among its members information regarding the construction, maintenance and operation of toll infrastructure. ASECAP promotes and organises study meetings for its members on technical, administrative and financial issues aimed at the deployment of efficient traffic management, providing to the end-users a high-quality road service at an appropriate cost. For that purpose, it also collects technical and statistical data and participates in select projects.
