In a sector that must continuously respond to complex challenges, from reducing road traffic deaths to designing infrastructure fit for a changing climate, the International Road Federation (IRF) Awards have long served as a reference point for excellence. Recognised across the industry for their credibility and impact, these awards celebrate projects offering tangible, forward-looking solutions.
In 2025, over 100 entries from around the world were submitted across 12 categories. An international panel of experts carefully reviewed each project to ensure winners meet the highest standards of innovation and relevance.
The winners were announced during the International Symposium “Navigating the Future of Traffic Management,” held in Athens.
Nivi Sharma, CEO of Bridges to Prosperity and winner in the Technology and Innovation Category, said “This recognition reinforces the power of inclusive infrastructure innovation. We’re honoured to be part of a global community driving bold, data-driven change for access and equity. We’re here to learn, to listen, and to connect with others who believe that rural access deserves a seat at the big table. We see this as a moment to contribute evidence, yes, but also to champion the voices of more than 1.5 billion people across the globe that too often get left out of the transport story.”
We congratulate all awardees for their significant contributions. Discover their projects on the YouTube channel @internationalroadfederation and learn more on the website www.irfofficial.org.
