Sharing practical knowledge and experiences to advance the 2030 Agenda
In October 2024, UNIDO will organize the second edition of its Multilateral Industrial Policy Forum (MIPF) in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources of Saudi Arabia. Recognizing that the acceleration of industrial development is essential for achieving the SDGs, MIPF responds to the pressing need for robust industrial policy frameworks and informed decision-making processes.

This will facilitate collaborative problem-solving and encourage informal discussions which are expected to yield valuable insights and expand networking possibilities.
