Abdib gathers a large range of public and private companies that take part in all business and investment phases for infrastructure and basic industry. It includes public service concessionaires, equipment manufacturers, service companies like engineering and law firms, major infrastructure users, private equity funds, insurance companies, financing and consultancy companies, among others.
More than a hundred companies are currently Abdib members, from areas such as electric power, oil and natural gas, transportation, water and sanitation, telecommunications, and basic industries.
