Global Forum Activities

Acting as a global forum for the public and private sector actors in industrial development – from governments to business associations and civil society groups - is one of UNIDO’s core functions. Through its global forum function UNIDO generates and disseminates knowledge about sustainable industrial development, establishes a dialogue among and develops partnerships with all key players.
