The Italian Trade Agency, in collaboration with the Embassy of Italy in London and the Executive Office of the Italian Constituency at the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), is organising a series of informational webinars (in Italian) dedicated to the opportunities offered by the EBRD to Italian companies.
The initiative aims to strengthen awareness of the EBRD’s procurement tools and to support the competitive positioning of Italian businesses in accessing tenders and projects financed by the Bank. The first webinar is scheduled for 16 February 2026 at 11:00 and will focus on EBRD Public Procurement opportunities.

WHY PARTICIPATE
The initiative is part of the significant opportunities offered by the procurement activities of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which awards on average more than 200 tenders per year, with a total value exceeding €2 billion. The webinar provides a concrete opportunity to explore participation procedures, requirements and operational tools, as well as to interact directly with EBRD Procurement Officers and learn about the support services provided by ICE Agency.
The EBRD operates in more than 30 countries across Central and Eastern Europe, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, with an annual investment volume of over €16 billion. These funds are largely directed towards public infrastructure projects in the transport, energy, water, environment and municipal infrastructure sectors. The Bank also plays a central role in the reconstruction of critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
Italian companies actively participate in EBRD procurement, achieving growing results and success rates. In light of the evolution of the Bank’s approach — increasingly focused on technical quality, innovation and sustainability, as well as on early dialogue with the market — Italian businesses are particularly well positioned to further strengthen their presence in EBRD-financed tender procedures.
