The United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), in partnership with Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources (MIM), is organizing the second edition of the Multilateral Industrial Policy Forum (MIPF 2024) from 23-24 October in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Recognizing that the acceleration of industrial development is essential for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), MIPF responds to the growing need for robust industrial policy frameworks and informed decision-making processes.

Guided by the motto “Making Industrial Policy Work for SDGs”, MIPF 2024 provides a platform for stakeholders to share knowledge, build partnerships and networks that can be leveraged by policymakers to deliver evidence-based industrial policy solutions with the aim of more effectively addressing sustainable industrialization challenges. The Forum focuses on three key themes:

• AI, Digitalization and Automation in Manufacturing
• Energy Transition
• Sustainable and Resilient Supply Chains
