CONTRACK w gronie nominowanych do Małopolskiej Nagrody Gospodarczej 2026

From the first prefabricated turnout in Bytom to nearly 6,000 m² of prefabricated track components installed across seven cities in Poland in just three years. CONTRACK’s rapid development has caught the attention of the jury of the Małopolska Region Economic Award 2026. The company has been nominated in the Startup category, confirming the real business potential of its innovative approach to rail infrastructure.

The Małopolska Region Economic Award recognises companies whose activities contribute to the region’s economic development. CONTRACK’s nomination in the Startup category acknowledges not only the innovative nature of its solutions but also the pace at which the company is establishing its position in the rail infrastructure market.

From the first Track Committee meeting to the first InnoTrans exhibition in just three years

Back in 2023, CONTRACK’s story began with the installation of its first prefabricated turnout. Today, just three years later, the scale of the company’s operations has grown significantly. In 2026, the total area of prefabricated track components installed has reached nearly 6,000 m². Our portfolio now extends beyond the tram market and is attracting international interest. At CONTRACK’s debut at TRAKO, we received the Józef Nowkuński Award, and in 2026 we presented our solutions on an even larger scale for the first time at InnoTrans in Berlin, the world's leading trade fair for transport technology.

Behind this growth are not only successive projects but, above all, the consistent development of large-scale track prefabrication technology. It makes it possible to move a significant proportion of construction work from the site to controlled production conditions. This solution addresses one of the key challenges facing modern transport infrastructure: shortening project delivery times and minimising disruption caused by track works.

Innovation that goes beyond the idea stage

The Startup category is associated with innovative ideas and a bold approach to the market. In CONTRACK’s case, however, the ability to turn innovation into tangible projects is equally important.

The track prefabrication technology developed by the company demonstrates that even in a demanding and traditionally oriented sector such as infrastructure construction, there is room for new approaches and improvements to established practices.

The nomination for the Małopolska Region Economic Award 2026 is an important endorsement of the direction the company has taken. It also shows that solutions developed in the Małopolska region can successfully address the challenges of today's infrastructure market.

From a single turnout to thousands of square metres of prefabricated track components. For CONTRACK, the nomination is an important recognition, but what matters most is the journey the company continues to pursue – from an innovative idea to a technology finding increasingly widespread practical application.
