Grow your business with United Nations procurement opportunities

Join us for an exclusive insight into United Nations procurement opportunities!

The event provides an overview of United Nations organizations within the system and their procurement processes. Additionally, participants will gain a detailed understanding of the United Nations Global Marketplace (UNGM), the primary procurement platform used by most UN organizations. We are excited to have UNGM’s Programme Specialist Susan Rendtorff join us at the event to provide valuable insights.

Participants will also receive tips on how to enhance their visibility to UN organizations and hear a success story from an Estonian company that has collaborated with the UN.
