Following the webinar held on 15 December 2022 on the subject of Leveraging Development Finance – Procurement Insights, with the World Bank, a second webinar with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) will be organised on 11 May 2023. This webinar will delve into detail on leveraging development finance and procurement consultancy framework and opportunities with ADB.
The objective of this second webinar is to offer Earth Observation (EO) services companies the opportunity to understand more about the work of ADB and related business opportunities. EO products and information services delivered by the ESA Global Development Assistance (GDA) programme are supporting decisions being made by ADB and other International Financial Institutions (IFIs) and development member countries (DMCs). Those products are produced by processing basic EO imagery and/or data with other value-adding algorithms.
