As of 2025, ADB applies the merit point criteria for international contracts, a weighted evaluation system that goes beyond price to assess quality, technical capability, innovation, environmental performance, and local participation—supporting more sustainable and high-impact project outcomes. This seminar for Swiss companies, organized as part of Team Switzerland, aimed to strengthen understanding of ADB-financed projects, help identify concrete opportunities, prepare high-quality and competitive bids, and navigate ADB procurement requirements.
