Embracing the future
Plenary
The last session of the IRU World Congress, followed two fruitful days of discussion on innovation, road transport governance and the challenges of future-proofing business activities. What did we learn from the World Congress? How should road transport leaders address existing and future challenges? And how will the momentum gathered in Oman be leveraged in the future?
The session started with a very focused look to the future: the announcement of the winners of the startup competition. The six startup finalists pitched their ideas to the audience in 90 seconds slots, after which the competition moderator, Peter Hopwood, announced CargoX and Zeleros Hyperloop as joint winners of the investment prize of $100,000.
