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 $2.4 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.
