Canada-in-Asia Conference 2026: Where Canada and Asia Meet: Ideas, Investment, Impact

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. 
These activities benefit ADB-financed projects in its developing member countries by enhancing competition for contracts and partnerships, and promoting higher-quality market offers that deliver optimal value for money.
