Explore how transport innovation can help address system decline and deliver greater economic and social value. This NTRO Edge event examines practical pathways to improve productivity, accessibility, safety, sustainability and long-term transport performance across Australia.
Australia’s transport systems are facing increasing pressure from ageing infrastructure, changing demands and persistent barriers to innovation. At the same time, transport remains fundamental to economic productivity, community wellbeing and Australia’s long-term resilience. Transport: Innovation Pathway for Economic and Social Growth brings together leaders from government, industry and research to explore how innovation can help re-engineer transport systems to deliver greater economic and social value.
The event will examine practical innovation across transport planning, asset management, infrastructure and delivery models, with a focus on improving network efficiency, freight performance and investment outcomes. It will also explore how data, digital technologies and new approaches to delivery can support better decision-making, optimise existing assets and create greater value from transport investment.
Beyond economic performance, the discussion will consider the role transport plays in connecting people to employment, education, health services and their communities. Speakers will explore opportunities to improve accessibility, liveability and social inclusion across metropolitan, regional and remote Australia, alongside innovations that support decarbonisation, climate resilience and more resource-efficient transport systems.
