What does it take to turn an ๐๐ฌ๐ข๐๐ง ๐๐๐ฏ๐๐ฅ๐จ๐ฉ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐๐ง๐ค (๐๐๐) project into a real business opportunity? At ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐โ๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐๐๐, over ๐๐๐ ๐๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ฌ came together at the Makati Shangri-La Hotel to explore how businesses can navigate ADBโs procurement landscape, prepare for upcoming opportunities, and position themselves to participate.
This monthโs session, โ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ, ๐๐๐ญ, ๐๐ข๐! ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฒ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ,โ featured ADB leaders ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ, Vice-President for Administration and Corporate Management, and ๐๐ฆ๐๐ง ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐, Director General of the Procurement, Portfolio and Financial Management Department, alongside moderator ๐๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฅ, Executive Chair of DysrupIT.
Three key lessons stood out: ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐๐๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐, with ADB opportunities spanning procurement, consulting, technical assistance and private-sector projects; ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ข๐, by engaging early, understanding procurement requirements and building the right relationships; and ๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ค ๐๐๐ฒ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐๐ง๐ฒ ๐ฌ๐ข๐ณ๐, as SMEs and specialist businesses can also contribute to ADB-supported projects.
The discussion shifted the focus from simply asking โ๐๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ซ ๐๐ง ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฃ๐๐๐ญ?โ to a more strategic question: โ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐จ๐๐ฌ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ข๐ง๐๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก๐ข๐ง ๐๐๐โ๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ข๐จ๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฌ, ๐๐ง๐ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐๐จ ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐๐ซ๐ญ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง?โ As ADB continues to deepen its engagement with the private sector, businesses that understand the landscape, prepare early and engage strategically will be better placed to participate.
