Attending conferences presents an exciting opportunity to immerse oneself in industry discussions, network with professionals from diverse sectors, and gain insights into cutting-edge technologies. Recently, our CEO Ada had the privilege of representing Jona Infrastructure Advisory as a delegate at the Interchange conference in Manchester, invited by the Institution of Civil Engineers.
The Manchester Interchange conference was a collaborative effort, bringing together key stakeholders from major transport infrastructure clients, transport authorities, and supply chains across various modes of transport. The event, in conjunction with TIP Live, STB Conference, and the ITS UK Conference, featured an array of fantastic speakers from different sectors, including the esteemed Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burnham.
One resounding theme echoed throughout the conference was the pressing need for improved transport connectivity and innovative funding models to sustain investments in cities. It became evident that investing in transport not only facilitates better mobility but also serves as a catalyst for societal progress across multiple sectors. Discussions on topics such as devolution underscored the importance of empowering regions to have greater control over their affairs, fostering innovation, collaboration, and adaptive approaches to address evolving challenges.
Attending the Manchester Interchange conference was an enriching experience, providing valuable insights into the future of transport infrastructure and the pivotal role it plays in shaping communities. It reaffirmed the importance of visionary leadership, sustained investment, and collaborative efforts to navigate the complexities of the modern transport landscape. As the industry continues to forge ahead, Jona Infrastructure Advisory remains committed to driving innovation and fostering partnerships that pave the way for a more connected and sustainable future.
