At the 103^rd REAAA Council meeting in Dubai in March 2016, it was agreed that REAAA would establish a Fellowship Program. The objective of the program is to provide financial support to REAAA members from developing countries to attend REAAA events as a speaker.

At the 111^th REAAA Council meeting in Abu Dhabi, Council agreed to continue the Fellowship Program at the 8^th REAAA Business Forum, to be held in Jakarta, Indonesia, in March 2020.

This event is tailored to meet the needs of young professionals in the road industry.

The benefits of the Fellowship Program include:

• Industry Development: Investment in the Fellowship Program provides a powerful stimulus for the advancement of the road industry in the region. Companies that compete for business in the region will be among the beneficiaries.
• Tomorrow’s leadership: An investment in the REAAA Fellowship Program ensures that the best and brightest professionals are supported in their ambitions to become tomorrow’s industry leaders.
  • Corporate philanthropy: Many corporate leaders are motivated to support education as a long-term investment in human capital. Supporting the REAAA Fellowship Program provides opportunities to engage with employees while, at the same time, supporting a worthy cause.
  • Networking potential: With rapid globalization, the world is getting smaller and companies need to think globally in terms of their responsibilities and opportunities. As a supporter of the REAAA Fellowship Program, companies have an opportunity to develop long-term personal and professional relationships with young industry professionals who will one day be key industry representatives.
