in view of the growing demand for road infrastructure andmobility, and the increasing importance of India as a market for road infrastructure and services, India is a befitting venue for this mega event.
The theme of the 18th WRM is “Safe Roads and Smart Mobility: The Engines of Economic Growth.” WRM 2017 will bring together representatives of business, industry, governments, public sector organisations, multi-lateral institutions, leaders and transport experts from the automotive, financial, road and transport infrastructure, and construction sectors; professionals, academics, consultants, infrastructure operators, contractors and manufacturers from across the world. The theme chosen for WRM 2017 addresses safe roads, smart mobility and economic growth, concerning aspirations across the world. As urbanisation gathers pace, there are demands for more road capacity and there is more traffic, congestion, pollution, traffic accidents and fatalities, all of which negatively affect our quality of life, and place a huge burden on the economy of countries. As the world’s population continues to grow, these challenges will increase in both magnitude and complexity. The WRM 2017 will explore safe, sustainable, and smart solutions for addressing these and future challenges.
During the course of four days, the WRM 2017 Conference will offer participants the opportunity to hear and take part in plenary sessions with high-level keynote addresses, expert parallel sessions on ten themes, sessions on future trends and much more. Concurrently, the WRM 2017 Exhibition will offer manufacturers and suppliers of products, equipment, and services the opportunity to showcase their products and services for the construction, maintenance and operation of safe, sustainable and smart roads and mobility.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India has extended their full support to WRM 2017. I am confident that with the support of the Government of India, the WRM 2017 will be a memorable event.
I urge all of you to attend and participate in the WRM 2017, the Conference and the Exhibition, and thereby make it a successful event by. I look forward to welcoming you in Delhi on 14 November 2017.
