Join us for an exclusive session where we’ll explore business opportunities resulting from IDB-financed projects. The IDB finances an average of nearly $4.5 billion in project procurement annually, leading to more than 12,000 contracts. The webinar focuses on the successful participation of German companies within these projects.

 

Participating in tenders offers companies good opportunities to tap into new markets. But there are specific processes and requirements to be aware of and thorough preparation is important.

In this webinar, representatives from the IDB will provide insights into the Bank’s project portfolio in the infrastructure sector (energy, transport and water), procurement processes, and key sources of information, including two free apps designed to help companies stay informed about procurement opportunities. In addition, two German companies who have successfully bid on IDB procurement projects will share their experiences. Germany Trade & Invest (GTAI), AHK-Washington and the Agency for Business and Economic Development (AWE) will present their support services for German companies.

The webinar is organized GTAI, IDB and the AHK Washington.
