ITS United Kingdom signs Memorandum of Understanding with ITS Finland

ITS (UK), the Intelligent Transport Society for the United Kingdom, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with ITS Finland.
Richard Harris of ITS (UK) Foundation Members Logica, who is also the International Director on the ITS (UK) Council, took the opportunity of October’s ITS World Congress in Busan, South Korea, to sign an MoU with Mr Karri Salminen, Chairman of the Board of ITS Finland.
ITS (UK) and ITS Finland look forward to co-operating in sharing information and facilitating contacts between ITS professionals in both countries. The two organisations already enjoy close ties thanks to their membership of the ERTICO-hosted Network of National ITS Associations.
