International Procurement Seminars, also known as Multi-Agency Business Seminars, are opportunities for UN Buyers and Vendors to meet in person. Selected UN Agencies participate and typically deliver a brief presentation of their Agency as well as take part in workshops and panel debates.

The Seminar programme is being organised by the trade team in the British Embassy in Denmark, together with trade promotion partners from Enterprise Ireland and the Netherlands Enterprise Agency and will involve access to the conference and a networking reception.

Who should attend?

This opportunity is aimed at new and experienced exporters who are based in the Midlands region and interested in UN Procurement, as well as businesses who already supply to the UN.

As the world faces an unprecedented series of health, conflict and humanitarian crisis, international organisations work tirelessly on development and relief assistance programmes. The private sector plays an active part in providing relevant and innovative solutions that can save lives and help the ones in need. The global humanitarian and development sector allows unique commercial opportunities for UK companies, across a wide range of sectors, to win overseas business from worldwide aid funded agency programme.

The following sectors will benefit most from attending, but this is not an exclusive list:

 

  • Medical and Pharmaceutical
  • Water and Sanitation
  • Power Generation
  • Laboratory Equipment
  • Shelter and Basic Domestic Supplies
  • Transporation and logistics
  • Security Equipment and Services
  • Corporate Training
  • Management and Consultancy Services
  • Supply Chain
