In June 2024, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) will host a joint event aimed at showcasing innovation, connecting the private sector for sustainability and climate action, as well as advancing impact-driven public-private development partnerships.
The event titled “Connecting for Development – Innovating for Impact” is a joint effort of the Regional Bureau for Europe and Central Asia and the Global Cleantech Innovation Programme (GCIP) of the Sustainable and Just Energy Transitions Unit.
This joint endeavor supports the spirit of collaboration and multilateral dialogue to foster networking, partnership building, and mutual learning between the European business sector and the global network of UNIDO-supported start-ups. It aims to further advance the development of innovative solutions and identification of joint activities to scale up multi-stakeholder development cooperation activities.
Entrepreneurs, corporates, government representatives, and intermediary institutions from various countries will come together to share experiences, co-ideate solutions, and explore cooperation modalities for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
