The FIA Foundation convened its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) during the FIA General Assemblies Week in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, bringing together Trustees, partners, and representatives from across the global road safety and sustainable mobility community. 

The meeting reflected not only the progress of 2025 but also a major milestone: the completion of the first five years of the Foundation’s 2021–2030 strategy. Delegates heard compelling updates demonstrating the reach and impact of the Foundation’s global programmes, with activities delivered alongside NGOs, FIA Clubs and international agencies in more than 100 countries.

The session opened with a welcome from outgoing Chair, David Richards, who highlighted the Foundation’s growing role in promoting public health through investments in road safety, clean air, sustainable transport and inclusive motor sport in partnership with the FIA and clubs. 

The meeting then turned to an extensive programme of presentations showcasing the Foundation’s activities in 2025, supported by the newly published Annual Review. Presentations reflected the global scope and scale of the FIA Foundation-supported projects: 

• Greg Smith, iRAP CEO, presented ‘Partnerships for Road Safety Impact’, reflecting on the scale of projects and infrastructure influenced by iRAP which has, so far, prevented 860,000 deaths and serious injuries around the world.
• Setting out the impact of pilot projects to scale, Chinara Kasmambetova, NGO PARS, demonstrated how a single Star Rating for Schools (SR4S) project has led to low-speed interventions around 600 schools in Kyrgyzstan.
• Showing the way clubs, motor sport, and technical partners like WRI can collaborate, Brazil auto club (AAB) CEO Luanda Dantas Guerra presented the Safe Way to School project in São Paulo.
• Embracing new technologies was the focus of the TAC Colombia presentation by Alfredo Albornoz, who set out a project on strengthening Bogotá’s speed camera control system through AI.
• Supporting safer motor sport through continuous training, Greg Symes, FIA Sport Head of Sport Clubs Development & Education, showed how the Motorsport Accelerator Programme is developing motor sport in Mongolia, and 36,000 training platform users are growing their skills through the FIA Digital University.
• Lisa Upton, Motorsport Zimbabwe, discussed the impact of the Officials Training Grant to professionalise and expand access to motor sport, particularly for women.
• Nuno Costa, FIA Safety Director, set out some of the recent motor sport safety research and activities including across Formula E, rally driving, and Formula 1, to protect drivers, officials and spectators alike.

Delegates also learnt about the Real Urban Emissions Initiative’s work on the first African real-world vehicle emissions testing, with a video showcase.

In the final business of the AGM, members approved the re-election of Trustees Gorki Obando, Carmelo Sanz de Barros, and Bernard Tay, and confirmed the election of Primož Koder, Amina Mohammed, and Anton Roux to serve their first terms on the Board. The AGM also approved the election of six new Honorary Members for their contributions to the FIA Foundation: Gerardo Braggiotti, Werner Kraus, David Richards, Angelo Sticchi Damiani, Wan Heping and Ken Woodier. 

At a trustee board meeting following the AGM, President of the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile Mohammed Ben Sulayem was appointed as the new Chair of the FIA Foundation.
