As the coordinator of the REAAA business forum, please allow me to give a brief history of the REAAA
business forum.
REAAA business forum was designed for business to business or B to B cooperation to collaboration in
infrastructure development, especially in roads and related sectors.
We are delighted to announce that since the establishment of this forum in 2014, REAAA has become the
most dynamic road association in Asia and Australasia with membership from individuals and institutions
increasing every year.
The forums are always held in conjunction with the REAAA council meetings and/or conferences.
From its early years, the REAAA business forum showed its potential and demonstrated its high strategic
value for REAAA.
From the start, 8 forums had been carried out and today’s forum will be the 9th.
The first 2 REAAA business forum held in Bali, Indonesia in April 2014 and in Sydney, Australia in October
2014.
The 3rd was held in Tokyo, japan in November 2016
The 4th in Bali, Indonesia in march 2017
The 5th in manila, the Philippines in July 2017
The 6th in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in October 2019
The 7th in Taipei, Taiwan in April 2019 and
The 8th in Manila, the Philippines in September 2021
All the forums proved to be great success
In this regard, REAAA business forum can play an important role as facilitator to establish any business
opportunities to be implemented among country-members.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today the 9th REAAA business forum, features prominent speakers from various countries, will gave
presentations followed by panel discussion and question answer session, with the main topic “smart
construction technology in road engineering”
I really hope that in the future this forum can cover wider range of issues or topic that even can reach not
only REAAA members but beyond REAAA. This can be become opportunities as well where this forum can
be used as a platform in promoting REAAA, also can provide us with more opportunities in building linkages
and partnerships among country members.
“REAAA business forum welcome the opportunity for business. Hopefully, in the near time member countries
should directly coordinate related B to B cooperation”
Please welcome and enjoy the forum today
