The process of industrialization is connected to people’s living conditions and their quality of life. Industrial development is linked to a broad range of other development goals. Progress by innovation is UNIDO's guiding principle to find solutions to the big challenges we face today. UNIDO is a bridge and platform for global technology and knowledge transfer, investment and partnership, and for making economies and societies in the Global South more resilient. With our technical cooperation we are supporting Member States to access the global market, help shape fairer global trade and create more local value.
