The seminar will welcome participation from all major UN agencies and will be opened by senior Nordic representatives, with Sweden represented by Benjamin Dousa, Minister for International Development Cooperation and Foreign Trade. His presence highlights Sweden’s commitment to increasing Nordic visibility in global development supply chains and advancing sustainable business practices.
“To support Swedish companies in accessing the UN procurement system is to help ensure that poorer parts of the world benefit from future technologies and climate-smart Swedish solutions. In doing so, we contribute to sustainable development while also advancing Sweden’s interests and strengthening our companies,” says Jan Larsson, CEO of Business Sweden, who will be participating in the seminar.
Each year, the United Nations procures over USD 25 billion in goods and services worldwide. This seminar presents a unique gateway for Nordic companies to access this extensive procurement network, align with global sustainability goals, and contribute to peace and development efforts globally.
