Long the preserve of business, “competitiveness” is suddenly on the lips of many political leaders. What do these political winds mean for the transport sector? Is competition now trumping decarbonisation and international cooperation?
Most transport companies in most sectors live and die by being competitive. And they, in turn, make their own countries and regions more competitive.
But how important is being competitive to driving greener and more resilient transport networks and services more broadly? And if it is, how do we make it happen?
Economic and social, national and international, public and private: this side event will explore the role of competition in transport policy and practice, with insights from the micro company level to the macro public domain.
