This business opportunities seminar in Papua New Guinea will showcase the pipeline of projects funded by ADB and other development partners. The resource persons are representatives from ADB, the World Bank, JICA, the Governments of Australia and New Zealand, and the US Commercial Service.

This event brought the business community together with key representatives from Pacific governments and development partners to discuss the region's infrastructure development priorities, especially growing opportunities in transport, energy, health, education, water, and financial inclusion.

In support of the Pacific quality infrastructure principles, the event featured presentations by executing agencies from the Papua New Guinea government to provide an overview of the project pipeline regardless of the funding source. There was also a side event for suppliers and contractors, focusing on effective tendering, bidding, and exploring potential tendering and contracting partnerships.
