Dim Sum with Entrepreneurs

Dim Sum with Entrepreneurs, a rapid-pitch event, took place on 20 June, during Asia Clean Energy Forum 2019, at ADB’s Headquarters in Manila, Philippines.

The mission was to showcase innovative emerging clean energy solutions, and to catalyze commercial connections. During the 90-minute, highly dynamic networking and match-making event, 26 clean energy entrepreneurs from 14 different countries pitched and presented their solutions to an audience of more than 300 people. There was a significant interest. In total, there were more than 320 request for follow-up, on average 14 per entrepreneur. Many of these connections have already resulted in early commercial partnerships and discussions.

Dim Sum with Entrepreneurs at ACEF 2019 was jointly organized by PFAN and ADB Ventures. Click here to read the Event Summary Report.
