Each year, the United Nations spends roughly $25 billion to purchase goods and services from vendors around the world. American companies have historically captured around 8% of that procurement volume, and there's room for increased vendor participation.

During this webinar, American companies will hear from several UN procurement experts. Across three presentations, attendees will learn about upcoming procurement opportunities from the UN Secretariat, how to register as a vendor on the UN Global Marketplace, and on navigating the tender process.

Who Should Attend:

American companies interested in selling to the UN Secretariat and other UN entities. Given the broad needs of various UN organizations, all export-ready U.S. companies are encouraged to attend.

Given the upcoming needs of the UN Secretariat, U.S. firms in the following industries are especially encouraged to attend:
