The session concluded with a roundtable exchange, where Clubs shared successes and challenges, fostering collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Celebrating Innovation: Region III Wins Big

With 43 entries, Clubs worldwide demonstrated leadership and creativity in delivering solutions for safer, more sustainable, and more affordable mobility.
