The Forum

Two complementary days, one regional conversation.

For the first time, this edition brings together, under the LAC Transport Forum, the policy dialogue and an international round of project presentations — connecting ministers, authorities and the private sector around the priorities the region shares.

Our objective

To strengthen the capacity of Latin American and Caribbean countries to prepare, design and procure transport projects with higher standards of quality, transparency and innovation; and to build the conditions for greater and better private-sector participation in the sector.
