Safety: Unlocking business opportunities
The IRU Logistics and Innovation Forum is a networking hub for innovative road transport solutions. Transport operators, service providers and national transport associations had a unique opportunity to share knowledge, connect with each other, as well as to learn about new solutions driving the industry forward.
The Forum offered market leading companies direct access to some of the most forward-looking transport and logistics operators, as well as IRU member associations who jointly represent more than 3.5 million transport operators.
The 2020 Logistics and Innovation Forum brought together the road transport industry, with a focus on innovative safety solutions. Participants had the opportunity to capture the business potential offered by new technologies.
