This week, our Deputy Managing Director, Leena Klossner, was present at 58th Asian Development Bank (#ADB) Annual Meeting in #Milan, Italy, where more than 5,000 participants joined: consisting of representatives of governments, the private sector, civil society, and academia. The meeting focused on driving transformational change across Asia and the Pacific.🌏 Key issues that have been discussed include transforming food systems, digital transformation, frontiers of the energy revolution and how innovation, private sector development and regional cooperation can build resilience against the many challenges the region faces. “While all of these issues are overwhelming to solve, we must, and will, continue the efforts. With the type of creative capital NDF has and partners such as the ADB, we try to find the solutions,” says Klossner who joined two panel discussions, sharing vital knowledge within strategy, resilience and development work.💬 Thank you for inviting us! It is important we continue working together to solve complex challenges to shape the future of Asia and the Pacific. 🤝 Learn more about #ADBAnnualMeeting2025 here: https://shorturl.at/EJ1nZ Asian Development Bank Tony Blair Institute for Global Change
