From Opportunity to Contract: Turning EBRD Projects into Swiss Success

In this online session, Team Switzerland Infrastructure and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will brief participants about the upcoming full-day in-person event on EBRD’s new procurement policy, pipeline projects and upcoming tenders. During this webinar, the speakers will:

• Place EBRD in the broader landscape of International Financial Institutions (IFIs) 
• Provide an accessible overview of EBRD’s mandate and operating model 
• Highlight key procurement-policy developments that affect how companies identify opportunities and prepare bids.
• Provide a first look at market signals, trends and selected upcoming opportunities in priority infrastructure sectors, including upcoming projects in Ukraine. 

Why to participate?

• Learn how EBRD procurement works and what has recently changed
• Get early signals on upcoming opportunities in the EBRD region (incl. Ukraine)
• Prepare your questions and next steps for the in-person event in November 

By the end of the webinar, participants should have a clear understanding of what EBRD is, how procurement opportunities typically arise, what companies should watch in the evolving procurement landscape, and what to expect from the in-person event in November. A Swiss company will also share a practical perspective on working on an EBRD-financed project, including key lessons learned for newcomers.

Attendance at the webinar is not a condition for attending the in-person event, although participating in both sessions is recommended. This webinar provides the essential orientation and early market signals, while the in-person event in November will deliver the deeper practical sessions and direct exchanges with EBRD procurement and sector specialists.
