From 16 to 18 November 2026, the IRF 2026 Annual Conference brings the global road community to Geneva under the theme “The Road Ahead: Trust, Delivery and Innovation.”

Ahead of the conference, this Innovations Roundtable gathers leading innovators and solution providers from the IRF community to show what proven delivery looks like now, how technology and data are reshaping the way roads are built, maintained and kept safe, and what it will take to turn trust, delivery and innovation into everyday practice on the ground.

This roundtable brings together leading innovators and solution providers from across the IRF community to show what proven delivery looks like now, how technology and data are reshaping the way roads are built, maintained and kept safe, and what it will take to turn trust, delivery and innovation into everyday practice on the ground.

The programme opens with a keynote from Arup, on the opportunities and challenges of building people-centred road systems that respond to public demands. Two moderated panels follow:

Panel 1 — Delivering Safer Roads: From Barrier to Behaviour. Where public trust in the road sector is most visibly won or lost. Speakers from VITRONIC, PASS+CO, Swarco and RetroTek-D explore what deployable safety delivery looks like across physical protection, traffic management and enforcement.

Panel 2 — Roads That Last: Sustainable, Resilient, Data-Driven Assets. How networks are maintained against changing climate conditions while their environmental footprint is brought under control. Speakers from Nplus, Ecogest, Lindsay and Hatko Sound Barriers share how roads are kept resilient and environmentally sound.

The session is a chance to hear directly from the companies working at the leading edge of the sector and to preview the themes that will shape the Annual Conference in November.
