MDB Plaza 2025: A Hub for Development Finance Projects
MDB Plaza 2025 is a specialized platform designed to connect Korean companies with multilateral development bank (MDB) projects. Project officers from major MDBs, including the World Bank, ADB, AIIB, and IDB, participate directly to explain entry opportunities for Korean firms and conduct one-on-one matching consultations. It serves as a key channel for joining infrastructure projects in developing countries, including Bangladesh.
Participating MDB Institutions
Eight multilateral development institutions take part in MDB Plaza 2025, presenting their procurement policies, active project pipelines, and bidding procedures directly to prospective suppliers. The World Bank and ADB are especially important because of their strong project footprint in Bangladesh.
