Doing Business with the UN Development Program

Event description

Each year, the United Nations spends over $25 billion to purchase goods and services from vendors around the world. American companies have historically captured around 8% of that procurement volume, and there's room for more U.S. exporters to participate.

This virtual seminar will focus on the UN Development Program (UNDP), which is the fourth largest buyer among UN organizations, purchasing $2.89 billions of goods and services in 2024.

During the webinar, the UNDP will provide a presentation on doing business with their organization, followed by interactive breakout sessions focused on key procurement areas for UNDP as well as Headquarters Procurement and Country Office Procurement.

Who Should Attend:

American companies interested in selling to the United Nations and learning more about how to do business with the UN Development Program. Given the broad needs of the UNDP, all export-ready U.S. companies are encouraged to attend.
