Two weeks ago, Wisconsin businesses that wanted to find out more information about working with the United Nations, were invited to Milwaukee to have a conference with U.N. officials on how to access U.N procurement opportunities. This forum with the U.N. occurred on April 5th where Wisconsin companies could attend speaker sessions from various U.N. Division leaders in the morning and then schedule meetings with U.N representatives in the afternoon to discuss the companies interest and market potential. The leaders from the U.N. Procurement Division, World Food Program, Children's Fund, and Development Program divisions were speaking and meeting with interested Wisconsin businesses. Wisconsin companies of these industries were asked to attend: Aviation, Food Services, Agriculture, Water/Sanitation, Information Technology, Construction, Security/Saftey, Transportation/Storage, Office Equipment/Supplies, Vehicles, Medical Equipment/Pharmaceuticals. This networking event was hosted the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation to help tie Wisconsin businesses to the U.N. and other international markets to help grow Wisconsin companies which will help develop and improve various U.N. countries.

Its great to hear that the UN is reaching out and joining business in our own backyard, to address issues world wide. Its cool that local Wisconsin business can play a role in a large international organization such as the UN.
ReplyDeleteJust learning about global organizations such as the UN and then finding their presence in our own backyard is indeed pretty inspiring.
