Day 1 of the Roundtabl also hosted the FIA Region II Plenary, that enabled Members to review achievements and discuss future projects for the Region, and was marked by a presentation of the many activities of the host Club IMI in both Motor Sport and Mobility. 

Entitled “Partnership for Impact”, the programme of the Roundtable then focused on fostering collaboration between FIA Region II Members. FIA Deputy President for Automobile Mobility and Tourism Tim Shearman and FIA Senate President Carmelo Sanz de Barros took the floor to discuss how to develop regional road safety partnerships with global partners and increase regional empowerment. 

Delegates heard about the FIA-led One Road Programme by FIA Secretary General for Automobile Mobility and Tourism Jacob Bangsgaard, case studies on working in multi-stakeholder partnerships with the FIA Foundation and actions led by iRAP. They also continued the FIA Region II Ideas Forum’s discussions on collaborative business-generating ideas.
