In the context of close relations established between UIC and the International Transport Forum (ITF), for several years now, please find below information about the Corporate Partnership Board.
Businesses are at the cutting edge of developments in a rapidly changing sector. Their foresight when it comes to future policy challenges and insights into the practical implications of policy change are extremely valuable to high-level decision-makers.
In March 2013, the International Transport Forum (ITF) member countries mandated the creation of a formal mechanism for engaging with the private sector. The Corporate Partnership Board (CPB) was created as this platform for dialogue with business.
The ITF, and the ministries it represents, invite leading companies from across the transport spectrum to join the CPB. Designed to grow over a three-year period, Partners will form a global network of some 50 companies from across all transport modes and closely related areas like energy, finance, IT, who understand the challenges to transport and want to work with policy makers to find solutions.
Information on the ITF and the Corporate Partnership Board is available below (cf. links)
