Hosted by the Government of Fiji and the Asian Development Bank, in partnership with the Australian Government and the World Bank, this event brings the business community together with key representatives from Pacific governments and development partners to discuss the infrastructure development priorities for the Pacific region, especially growing opportunities in transport, energy, water, ICT, social (health and education) infrastructure sectors.
