Nordic UN Procurement Seminar 2025 – in Copenhagen

The seminar will be held in the UN city in Copenhagen and is hosted by Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, and Finland, along with Danish Industry, Innovation Norway, Business Sweden, Business Iceland, and Business Finland.

The seminar offers companies valuable insights into the workings of UN procurement. Participants will have the chance to meet procurement officers and UN buyers from a wide range of UN agencies. The UN representatives will deliver presentations and take part in workshops sharing knowledge on conducting businesses with the UN and provide know-how on how to become an attractive supplier. 

During the two-day seminar, we will cover a variety of topics, including energy, life sciences, management, infrastructure, and logistics. The program offers a comprehensive introduction to the UN procurement system and allows you to choose the workshops that are most relevant to your company.

The Nordic countries have a proud tradition of delivering innovative and sustainable solutions to the United Nations. This seminar seeks to build on that legacy by reinforcing the Nordic region’s leadership through a deeper understanding of the UN's needs and challenges, as well as highlighting Nordic solutions to the UN-system. It aims to ensure that Nordic solutions stay aligned with the UN’s goals, foster collaboration across public, private and international sectors, and provide platforms for UN representatives and companies to exchange insights, address challenges, and share innovative ideas.
