The panel discussion brings together a diverse mix of private sector companies and bankers to discuss their experiences in creating and funding successful businesses targeting lower income people. Innovative businesses are proving that market-based solutions providing goods, services, and jobs for lower income people can translate into strong bottom line growth. Reducing poverty in Asia and the Paciﬁc, where two-thirds of the poorest people live, will require more of similar private sector investments.

Interregional trade and investment between developing Asia and Europe has expanded in recent decades. However, Europe’s contribution to Asia’s trade has been decreasing over the last few years. This may be attributed to falling demand after the global ﬁ nancial crisis and bottlenecks relating to policies and trade-related connectivity. Furthermore, there is an absence of comprehensive trade agreements to further liberalize trade and investment between Asia and Europe. Is the time ripe for a stocktaking of trade and investment relations between developing Asia and Europe? The seminar will discuss key opportunities and constraints to foster these relations and future policy priorities.

MAY MAY The UN's Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development calls for “partnerships be- § tween governments, the private sector and civil society” to implement and monitor the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Future of Financial Markets: A Changing View of Asia ADB Seminar Private Sector Event 4:00–5:30 pm • Harmonie Hall, D/E

Asia's investment needs are enormous and growing. Infrastructure needs alone top $800 billion a year. International interest in Asia is strong but not strong enough to meaningfully meet these needs. Market turbulence and a recent draw back from developing regions further cloud the picture. The panel will look at where sentiment for Asia lies today, where it is heading, what are the key variables that may play out over the coming year, and what can be done to encourage international, and particularly European, funds ﬂ owing into Asia, including into private infrastructure.

Promoting Renewable Energies in Asia: The Quality Challenge Host Country Seminar 4:00–5:30 pm • Fantasie

Many Asian economies are promoting the use of renewable energies. A key prereq- uisite for the sustainability of required investments is adequate capacities for quality assurance. In practice, however, these capacities are not yet fully established, which may lead to revenue losses and safety hazards and, ultimately, erode confi dence in renewable technologies. Developing quality infrastructure is therefore crucial in achieving the objectives of a renewable energy policy. The seminar will discuss the challenges and approaches in promoting quality of renewable energy projects in Asia, including the role of key stakeholders, specifi cally in the fi nance sector.

49th ADB Annual Meeting Program of Events | 15 Moving Toward Cities of the Future—Delivered, Driven or Demanded? ADB Seminar 9:00–10:30 am • Harmonie Hall, C1/C2

In order to sustainably become more livable, cities must develop strategic plans, build additional infrastructure, spur innovative ﬁ nancing modalities, and adopt new technologies. While most e¤ orts focus on this supply side of the future city equation, it is crucial to analyze the demand side—the citizens who will be a¤ ected by these developments.

Asia-Europe Macro Links: Opportunities and Spillovers ADB Seminar 11:00 am–12:30 pm • Harmonie Hall, C1/C2

Globalization has strengthened the macroeconomic links between Asia and Europe, supporting growth on both sides. Yet a sudden shock in Europe could spill over to Asia’s ﬁnancial markets.
