Location: Nadi, Fiji (Crowne Plaza Hotel)

The Pacific Infrastructure Business Opportunities Seminar is for international, regional, and local contractors and consultants interested in contributing to the infrastructure development activities in the Pacific.

Hosted by the Government of Fiji and the Asian Development Bank, in partnership with the Australian Government and the World Bank, this event brings the business community together with key representatives from Pacific governments and development partners to discuss the infrastructure development priorities for the Pacific region, especially growing opportunities in transport, energy, water, ICT, social (health and education) infrastructure sectors. The event features focused briefing for new entrants, industry feedback sessions, and networking opportunities to strengthen the business community and public buyers' exchange and encourage increased local participation.

In support of the Pacific quality infrastructure principles, the event will feature a focused panel discussion on how different institutions’ procurement systems can maximize positive impacts through integrating environmental, social, climate resilience, and economic considerations.

The event will offer an unrivaled opportunity better to understand the growing business opportunities in the Pacific and explore how the local, regional, and international public and private sectors can work in partnership to grow further the trade and investment relationship toward sustainable infrastructure development in the Pacific.
