ADB Business Opportunities Seminar in Bangladesh 2026
10 June 2026

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

The Bangladesh Resident Mission (BRM) in collaboration with the Procurement, Portfolio, and Financial Management Department (PPFD) of ADB organizes the annual Business Opportunities Seminar (BOS) as its flagship event where high-quality suppliers, contractors, and consultants, private business, and enterprises from Bangladesh and abroad can discuss diverse business opportunities under ADB-financed projects and ADB private sector operations.

The BOS serves as a strategic platform to showcase key ongoing and upcoming business opportunities under ADB-financed projects in the country, among which approximately $3.1 billion currently remains uncontracted. Additionally, the BOS provides updates on recent changes in bidding procedures and offers 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 will discuss various opportunities under ADB’s private sector operations as well as other opportunities such as public-private partnerships in Bangladesh. The seminar fosters meaningful networking with relevant stakeholders to explore the vast opportunities that ADB can offer.

The World Bank specialists joined ADB specialists in facilitating this BOS, marking the first collaboration between the two organizations to jointly organize such an event in Dhaka.
