Who is shaping our future?

The IRU New Industry Shapers project explores the journeys of inspirational people making road transport safer, more efficient and greener.

Launched to mark IRU’s 75th anniversary in 2023, it features a wide range of professionals, from mobility and logistics operators, associations and suppliers, as well as drivers, researchers and public sector innovators from all corners of the globe.

The project aims to inspire future generations and showcase the sector’s role in making the world a better, more inclusive, more prosperous and greener place.

Ideas Labs

IRU Ideas Labs bring together selected New Industry Shapers to discuss and brainstorm solutions for key industry challenges.

Our first Ideas Lab, “Women Driving Change”, brought together a group of women shapers from around the world. They looked at why women still only represent a very small percentage of the road transport workforce and some of the creative solutions to change this.
