In 2019, UN Agencies procured almost EUR 17 billion worth of goods and services, from pharmaceuticals, medical equipment, motor vehicles, drinking water supply and food and beverage products to services in ICT, transportation, energy and waste-water treatment. 

The seminar provides an excellent opportunity for Slovenian companies to engage with the UN agencies and gain a valuable insight into procurement practices, tender opportunities and how to do business with the UN. All registered companies can request a pre-arranged meeting with UN agencies, and participants will be given a chance to take part in interactive business networking with companies from all partner countries.

TENTATIVE PROGRAMME:
• Overview of the UN procurement system;
• Thematic workshops with experts from UN agencies on supply chains and public procurement procedures in ICT, logistics, pharmaceuticals and medical equipment;
• Presentation of good practices in companies already doing business with the UN;
• 1 to 1 meetings with procurement officers from selected UN agencies;
• Networking with companies from Ireland, the Netherlands, Poland and the United Kingdom;
• Panel discussions on topical issues, including innovation, sustainable development and COVID-19.

Discussion topics may change as the programme is still under preparation.
