UK Pavilion Partners at WRC 2019

The Department for Transport (DfT) and its UK government partners, including the devolved administrations, are offering UK companies and education institutions the opportunity to showcase their products, services and capabilities on the UK Pavilion.


The UK has secured the second largest stand at the WRC (second only to the host country). Centred around a core theme of innovation, the stand will aim to raise awareness of the roads sector in the UK, promote a vision of road management and delivery as a customer service sector, and highlight areas of specific UK expertise, including the provision of inclusive transport for disabled/elderly road users.


We look forward to welcoming the following partners to the UK Pavilion:
