Solutions Platform
Building a Sustainable Future Together
Vision
At UNIDO, we envision a world where innovation and collaboration drive sustainable industrial development, fostering resilient economies, clean energy and food security for all. Through the UNIDO Solutions Platform (USP), we integrate the expertise of diverse stakeholders and empower them to connect, innovate and implement solutions that create lasting global impact.
About UNIDO Solution Platform (USP)
The USP is a global platform designed to advance sustainable industrial development by enhancing UNIDO’s capacity to mobilize resources, forge partnerships, and scale effective solutions. It connects Member States, academia, and industry with scalable solutions that align with UNIDO’s mission and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Unlike projects that are limited in scope and duration, the USP focuses on scalable solutions - proven strategies that address critical challenges such as ending hunger, stopping climate breakdown, and strengthening sustainable supply chains. These solutions are adaptable to different contexts, enabling a broader impact on sustainable industrial development. The USP unites UNIDO's various interventions into a coherent strategic framework for innovative and impactful partnerships.
