Quality infrastructure growth that fosters technological innovation and economic resilience, sustainability, and inclusiveness could provide a timely boost to COVID-19 recovery across Asia and the Pacific. Building policy and financing capacity will be essential to maximizing these dynamics.

This interactive policy dialogue from the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), University of Indonesia, University of Tokyo Graduate School of Public Policy, and Toshiba International Foundation will explore the role of infrastructure, technology, and finance in enabling sustainable and inclusive post-pandemic economies in Asia and the Pacific.

Particular focus will be on how quality infrastructure can both promote, and benefit from, the wider adoption of new technologies, as well as COVID-19 era infrastructure policy and financing challenges and solutions.
