Swiss business delegation attending ADB’s business opportunities fair 2026
Meet the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Manila and turn upcoming project pipelines into real business leads. Join the Swiss Business Delegation for access to the Business Opportunities Fair, targeted 1:1 meetings with ADB sector specialists, and high-value networking.
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is one of Asia’s key multilateral development banks and regularly finances projects across infrastructure, energy, water, transport, digital solutions, and more. By joining the Swiss Business Delegation to the ADB Business Opportunities Fair 2026, you get closer to where opportunities are shaped, partners are identified, and procurement pathways start to take form.
At the core of the program is the Business Opportunities Fair at ADB Headquarters (Mandaluyong, Manila). Over multiple fair days, you can engage with ADB counterparts, gain insights into upcoming pipelines, and connect with potential partners in the region.
In addition to the fair, and depending on the Swiss companies joining the mission, we will arrange targeted 1:1 meetings with relevant ADB sector specialists throughout the BOF. These in-person conversations are designed to help you qualify opportunities: what is coming up, what requirements apply, and where your solutions fit best.
Relationship-building is also built into the agenda, with curated networking moments such as an informal meet & greet, the ADB networking cocktail (tbc), and a Swiss networking apero (tbc).
Think of this delegation as a fast track lane: instead of guessing who to talk to and when, you get structure, access, and conversations that move you from “interesting” to “actionable.”
The benefits of joining the official Swiss business delegation attending the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Business Opportunities Fair in Manila (22–24 September) include privileged access, visibility, and targeted introductions alongside Swiss public-sector representation and key decision-makers.
As part of the delegation, you will get access to ADB's program and side events.
