The fair offers an invaluable opportunity to share insights and discuss potential collaborations that align with ADB’s goals of reducing poverty and promoting sustainable economic growth in Asia and the Pacific. The ADB plays a pivotal role in advancing economic and social progress.

 

SMEC’s deep knowledge of managing infrastructure investment programs in developing countries, combined with our geographic footprint further demonstrates our alignment with the ADB’s mission. By collaborating with the ADB and other stakeholders, SMEC aims to contribute to transformative projects that enhance infrastructure, foster innovation and drive economic development.

SMEC’s presence at the ADB Business Opportunities Fair 2023 signifies its dedication to playing an active role in shaping the future of infrastructure development in Asia and the Pacific.
