ABOUT THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSPORT FORUM
Who we are
The International Transport Forum is an intergovernmental organisation with 63 member countries. It acts as a think tank for transport policy and organises the Annual Summit of transport ministers. ITF is the only global body that covers all transport modes. The ITF is administratively integrated with the OECD, yet politically autonomous.
What we do
ITF works for transport policies that improve peoples' lives. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the role of transport in economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion and to raise the public profile of transport policy.
How we do it
ITF organises global dialogue for better transport. We act as a platform for discussion and pre-negotiation of policy issues across all transport modes. We analyse trends, share knowledge and promote exchange among transport decision-makers and civil society. ITF's Annual Summit is the world's largest gathering of transport ministers and the leading global platform for dialogue on transport policy.
ABOUT CEiiA
CEiiA is a European Engineering and Product Development Centre that conceives, develops and produces new technologies, products and services towards a more sustainable society. As one of Portugal’s biggest research and development investors, CeiiA works by collaborating across cities, industry and universities in high-tech sectors such as automotive and mobility, aeronautics, ocean and space.
CEiiA has been working in mobility for the past 15 years, introducing new mobility concepts through innovative products and services. The work in this area has been evolving from automotive development to electric mobility and mobility-as-a-service. Today, using a sustainability-as-a-service model, CEiiA focuses on developing new technologies that enable new services and business models for carbon-neutral cities, such as AYR: a sustainability acceleration platform to achieve zero carbon. AYR was recently acknowledged as the winner of the New European Bauhaus in the Product and Lifestyle category. It was selected by Google.org for its Impact Challenge on Climate programme and was a reference at COP26, as a power tool to create local voluntary carbon markets.
