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. For 2020, a series of virtual BOSs with constituent countries are underway. It allowed increased participation by ADB speakers and greater flexibility in seminar design. Procurement, Portfolio and Financial Management Department (PPFD) will support 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. 

For this BOS, ADB partnered with the Embassy of the Kingdom of Belgium, Manila. The discussions focused on ongoing and upcoming business opportunities particularly in energy, health and private sector. There was also a presentation regarding ADB's procurement system and doing business with ADB.
