British Expertise International in partnership with the Asian Development Bank (ADB), UK Department for International Trade, and the UK-ASEAN Business Council, are pleased to host this year’s ADB Virtual Business Opportunities Seminar (VBOS) series to provide insights on the ADB’s key sector plans and a forward look on their business pipelines and opportunities.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is a key multilateral partner for the UK, delivering a range of the UK’s objectives and values across Asia and the Pacific (APAC), including promoting global prosperity, peace, security and good governance, building resilience, and protecting the most vulnerable people.

The UK holds a good winning record in consultancies with the ADB, averaging an annual export of £40mn in ADB contracts since 2016. There is room to perform better in securing contracts for goods and works. UK strengths complement ADB project needs in the sectors of transport, climate change resilience, energy, education, and healthcare.

The first session, on 14th September 2022, will cover opportunities in Energy, Healthcare and Education:

• Energy – improving access to reliable, affordable, low-carbon energy, including renewable energy generation, electricity transition and distribution, and energy utilities.

• Health – improvement of healthcare provision through affordable, efficient, equitable and high-quality health services, reduction of regional vulnerability to pandemics and promotion of wellbeing, including through digital health and healthcare infrastructure.

• Education – promoting quality, equitable and inclusive education with focus on marketable skills, vocational training and education technology.

In addition, this session will provide an overview of doing business with ADB and ADB’s Procurement System.

The second session, on 21st September 2022, will cover Urban Development, Climate Resilience, Transport and PPP (click here for more information and to register).

A better understanding of ADB’s priority investments and planned interventions will provide UK companies the opportunity to align resources, highlight UK expertise, and effectively prepare to participate in ADB’s projects, ultimately supporting the ADB’s efforts to eradicate extreme poverty and achieve a prosperous, inclusive, resilient and sustainable Asia and the Pacific.
