ADB Business Opportunities Seminar in Bangladesh 2025
28 April 2025

Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Center (BCFCC) (former BICC), Agargaon, Sher-E-Bangla Nagar, Dhaka - 1207, Bangladesh

The Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) organizes the annual Business Opportunities Seminar (BOS) as its flagship event, where high-quality suppliers, contractors, consultants, private businesses, and enterprises from Bangladesh and abroad can discuss diverse business opportunities under ADB-financed projects and ADB private sector operations.

The BOS served as a strategic platform to showcase key ongoing and upcoming business opportunities under ADB-financed projects in the country, among which approximately $3 billion currently remains uncontracted. Additionally, the BOS provided updates on recent changes in bidding procedures and offered expert guidance to help companies prepare high-quality, responsive bids and proposals.

In line with ADB’s strategic direction of private sector development, the BOS this year discussed various opportunities under ADB’s private sector operations and other opportunities, such as public-private partnerships in Bangladesh. The seminar fostered meaningful networking with relevant stakeholders to explore ADB's vast opportunities.
