UITP Diverse Panel Charter

We are dedicated to fostering diversity and inclusion at our Summit, ensuring that every voice is heard.

With a gender-balanced lineup, we are proud to feature international speakers from over 110 countries.

Over 40% of our congress speakers are women, demonstrating our commitment to promoting gender equality in public transport.

Since launching our Diverse Panel Charter in 2021, we doubled the presence of women speakers, and securing strong female representation on our boards.

As a direct result of the policy, we have achieved outstanding results:
