Join us for a practical one-hour webinar where you will learn how the UN procurement market works, which organizations are buying, what types of products and services are currently in demand, and how your company can take the first steps toward becoming a UN supplier.
The United Nations purchases goods and services worth more than USD 20 billion annually. The UN procures everything from healthcare solutions and digital services to maritime technologies, logistics, infrastructure, education technology, public safety solutions, consulting services, and clean energy systems.
Despite Finland’s strong reputation for innovation, sustainability, and technology, relatively few Finnish companies are active suppliers to the UN system. Recent developments show growing interest in Finnish solutions, creating new opportunities for companies looking to expand internationally and diversify their customer base.
