About the Summit

About #ITFSummit

The ITF Annual Summit is the world's largest gathering of transport ministers and the premier global transport policy event. 

Since 2008, ministers from ITF’s 69 member countries, heads of international organisations, parliamentarians, and leaders in industry and academia have met annually during the 2.5-day Summit to discuss the future of transport and mobility through the prism of a strategic topic of global importance.

The 2026 theme, "#FundingResilientTransport", is the second in the 2025-2027 ITF Summit trilogy on transport resilience. This year's Summit will explore ways to mobilise the investments and financing strategies needed to strengthen the resilience of transport systems for better long-term connectivity, efficiency, and reliability in transport infrastructure and operations.
