A Long Term Agenda for Education, Advocacy and Knowledge
|
H.E. Abdullah A. Al-Mogbel, Chairman, IRF
The intuition of the founders of the International Road Federation was that road investments had to be accompanied by a continuous flow of
new ideas and knowledge, leading to safer, cleaner, more resilient, and better connected transportation systems.
As a leading industry organization, we understand the importance of setting a long term agenda for education, advocacy and knowledge. We aren't just building tomorrow's transportation infrastructure; we are also preparing tomorrow's transportation leaders.
