Are you active in the energy, construction, or infrastructure sectors? Join our webinar to learn how to secure projects funded by the World Bank in the Pacific. Gain key insights to access these opportunities and collaborate with local and international stakeholders!
The eleven Pacific island states that are members of the World Bank have a combined population of approximately 2.3 million and cover an area representing 15% of the Earth’s surface.
The World Bank’s activity in this region has grown significantly over the past decade, with a sevenfold increase in funded projects since 2014. Supported by the Australian and New Zealand governments, ongoing projects span 12 Pacific countries (including Papua New Guinea) with a total value of USD 2.84 billion (EUR 2.75 billion).
This webinar, organised by hub.brussels, Flanders Investment & Trade (FIT), AWEX, and the World Bank, is a unique opportunity to gain the essential information needed to access these large-scale projects.
