Series: ADB Business Outreach Activities Virtual Business Opportunities Seminar 2021 with TAITRA 26 August 2021 ADB undertakes Business Opportunities Seminars (BOSs) in its members to improve the interest and ability of eligible suppliers to locate ADB business opportunities, prepare high-quality and responsive bids, and understand ADB’s procurement and anticorruption procedures. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Procurement, Portfolio and Financial Management Department (PPFD) transitioned its Business Opportunities Outreach Initiatives from in-person to virtual format. PPFD will continue to offer and host virtual events in 2021, in cooperation with host organizations, to plan and deliver an engaging virtual event using any desired videoconferencing platform, flexible around the practical realities of maintaining virtual audience engagement. Online delivery of business outreach events increases the representation of ADB speakers and greater flexibility in seminar design. The purpose of this BOS was to assist TAITRA's invited companies in maintaining contact with ADB as well as understanding the smart city procurement opportunities through an online webinar presentation, with a focus on ICT infrastructure, mobility and transport, climate resilience, and disaster risk management.
