The Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) organized a business opportunities seminar (BOS) annually as its flagship event to attract quality suppliers, contractors, and consultants from Bangladesh and abroad to participate in ADB-funded projects. The BOS apprised participants of the business opportunities available for ADB-funded projects in Bangladesh. At the time, the uncontracted amount under ADB-funded projects in the country stood at $2.9 billion. The BOS generated interest among contractors and consultants in exploring opportunities in ADB-funded projects and helped companies locate ADB’s business opportunities. Furthermore, the seminar guided companies on how to prepare high-quality and responsive bids and proposals.

This national-level seminar was conducted in person at the Bangabandhu International Conference Center, Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka. Experts from the ADB and business communities joined as resource persons and facilitators. The BOS showcased major ongoing and upcoming business opportunities under ADB-financed projects in Bangladesh.
