In collaboration with Advantage Austria, our organization will host an upcoming delegation mission to Washington, DC focused on engagement with the international financial institutions (IFIs).
This mission will provide participating companies with direct insights into the procurement priorities, financing instruments, and strategic initiatives of The World Bank Group, Inter-American Development Bank, and other institutions.
Through targeted meetings with procurement experts and networking opportunities, the program is designed to help firms better understand how to position their expertise for international development projects and expand their presence in global infrastructure, sustainability, and innovation initiatives.
The mission offers a unique platform to explore partnership opportunities and gain practical guidance on navigating IFI procurement processes.
The program costs 1800 USD. Pricing includes the full 2.5 day program, meals, and transportation. Participants are responsible for arranging their flights and hotel accommodations
