Why visit the Asian Development Bank Headquarters?
To be successful at winning ADB work, it is important to establish relationships with Project Officers and to gather intelligence on upcoming opportunities and trends in Bank lending. Companies who visit regularly are more likely to be successful at winning contracts.
This visit will give you the opportunity to find out more about the Bank’s future strategy and where the services of your company may be required. Through a tailored programme of meetings organised by the British Embassy, you will also have the opportunity to meet key contacts face to face to establish a good working relationship with the Bank. The Ambassador will also host a networking reception for companies to network with local Donor Agency staff and companies in Manila already winning contracts with the International Donor Community.
The programme will include presentations from other Donors active in the Philippines (e.g. World Bank, EU) in a dedicated ‘Philippines Country Day’.
Sectors covered:
-
Agriculture
-
Enviroment & Natural Resources
-
Energy
-
Education
-
Finance
-
Public Sector Management
-
Transport & Communications
-
Urban Development
Why should I participate?
This visit will not only provide participants with the opportunity to listen to key hints and tips on doing business with the ADB from its own procurement staff, but will also provide you with the opportunity to make contacts relevant to your company through a personalised programme of appointments.
There will also be a day of presentations from staff located within other Donor Agencies in the Philippines.
Please note: There is a participation fee for this mission of £666 (inc. VAT) per company
