Our Vision

Through their participation in the MIPF, policymakers and other stakeholders have the opportunity to actively engage in mutual learning, collaborate with peers and foster meaningful dialogue. The exchange of knowledge and experiences enhances participants’ understanding of the different stages of the industrial policymaking cycle, namely policy formulation and design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, which are crucial for sustainable industrial development. By sharing best practices, innovative approaches and lessons learned, participants contribute to the continuous improvement of industrial policies.

Our Mission

The Multilateral Industrial Policy Forum (MIPF) serves as a platform for policymakers, development researchers and business professionals to come together to enhance multilateral collaboration on industrial policies. UNIDO established the MIPF with the goal of stimulating discussions on how industrial policies can best be leveraged to promote productivity and growth; strengthen resilience and environmental sustainability, and address societal challenges. By facilitating the exchange of ideas, the MIPF aims to drive inclusive and sustainable industrial development and accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at both the regional and global levels.



Transformational change in developing countries can only be realized through stronger global solidarity and commitment. We must substantially scale up development finance and investments in technology, innovation, infrastructure and human capital development.

Countries cannot build resilience, identify development gaps and respond to challenges without evidence-based and tailored industrial policy.

One Large-scale technology and energy transformations can only be achieved with broad and integrated industrial policies and government interventions such as financing or regulation in collaboration with the private sector, finance sector and academia.

One of the reasons we haven’t been able to move steadily to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals is because they haven’t actually been embedded in our industrial strategies and innovation policies. We need a mission-oriented approach to industrial strategy and must use the SDGs as challenges beneath which we need to think about the moonshots of the future.

Explore the Themes

Industrial Policy

The new generation of sustainable industrial policies effectively balances national interests, regional coordination and collaboration, and international governance in line with the global community’s commitments to the UN 2030 Development Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

AI, digitalization and automation in manufacturing

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technologies into manufacturing and automation processes has revolutionized the design, production and distribution of products. Moreover, the adoption of Fourth Industrial Revolution also fosters greater integration between manufacturing and services.

Energy transition

As the world is grappling with the pressing challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, the need for a sustainable approach to industrialization is imperative. A green transition also offers a pathway to increased competitiveness, and global consumption patterns are changing.

Resilient and sustainable supply chains

The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerabilities of highly globalized and interconnected supply chains, which has renewed the focus on rendering them more resilient and sustainable. Such supply chains are characterized by diversification and flexibility, so that they can quickly bounce back from shocks.
