At the International Road Federation (IRF) World Congress in Istanbul held from 15 to 18 October 2024, the IRF Awards were presented at the closing ceremony. Austrian traffic technology corporation SWARCO is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Technology and Innovation Award for the SWARCO GoGreen Initiative project – a proactive approach to climate neutrality.

SWARCO representatives Richard Neumann and Itir Coskun, who have promoted the GoGreen initiative across Europe, accepted the award from IRF President Dimitris Mandalozis.

This is the second recognition of SWARCO’s commitment to the European Green Deal cities to become carbon neutral by 2050, following the ITS Hall of Fame Industry Award in Dubai in September. SWARCO’s virtual reality experience, which underpins its solutions to reduce congestion and air pollution and promote the safety of vulnerable road users, is an innovative approach to engage all stakeholders and convince them of the benefits of ITS in mitigating climate change.
