“We originally joined in 1994 to learn about country standards and to reinforce our leadership and commitment to the international highway industry. Since then we have gained great benefit and market exposure from the many international conferences held by the IRF. We have also pursued joint ventures with fellow members and used the networking and business development services offered by the two program centres to gain access to new markets. We think that the key benefits of IRF membership flow from such business networking activities and we plan to expand them in the future."

”The reason I became involved with IRF in the first place, and stayed with it throughout my career as a consulting engineer, was that I found it an invaluable marketing and business-development resource. Through IRF contacts and activities I was able to build personal and professional relationships with potential clients and associates throughout the world and across the full spectrum of road related business interests, to learn about upcoming projects, and to stay abreast of developments in road-related technology and business practices.”
