UK-ADB Business Connect: Grids, Growth and Connectivity in Southeast Asia

The UK–Asian Development Bank (ADB) relationship offers significant opportunities for UK businesses in the energy sector, as the ADB continues to expand its investment portfolio across Asia and the Pacific. This growing pipeline creates new openings for UK organisations looking to deepen their engagement with the ADB and build long-term partnerships across the region's energy transition.

Join us, the UK Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade (BIST) and the ADB for a business engagement evening bringing together ADB energy specialists, UK government representatives and UK private sector stakeholders. The session will offer insights from the ADB on energy sector priorities and investment opportunities across Asia and the Pacific, alongside practical guidance from ADB procurement specialists on navigating bidding processes and procurement portals.

Presentations will also explore the outlook for grid development and regional connectivity across Asia, including emerging priorities and opportunities, with perspectives from UK government and industry leaders on how to collaborate with the ADB. Throughout the evening, attendees will have the chance to connect directly with the ADB's energy leadership, exchange insights and explore new avenues for UK-ADB collaboration alongside key stakeholders from government and the private sector.
