About the e-Marketplace
15-19 March 2021
The e-Marketplace is a dedicated venue and platform to help spearhead digitization for smart, resilient, safe, sustainable and inclusive rural and bulk water services delivery in Asia and the Pacific. It aims to connect providers of smart digital technology solutions with rural water distribution and bulk water service providers in developing Asia and the Pacific. Related events to date have largely focused on cities and urban areas.
Intended to serve as a platform for connecting, dialogues and learning, the e-Marketplace will bring together government officials, water supply service providers, development professionals, and academia, both public and private, from ADB’s developing member countries, and connect them to providers of digital technology. A series of such e-Marketplaces are planned for 2021 on a quarterly basis, and the first event will be launched on 15 March 2021 (Monday) and will run for 5 days.
