2021 SDG Investment Fair
14 December 2021 - 15 December 2021
Free
You are invited to the United Nations SDG Investment Fair, 14-15 December 2021.
The SDG Investment Fair brings together top institutional investors with sustainable development projects in developing countries. Out of a pool of applicants, 3 countries are chosen to present their projects as investors of all sizes scout for lucrative investment opportunities across Asia, Africa, and Latin America that advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In September, the Fair was held virtually with Pakistan, Rwanda, and Dominican Republic showcasing their sustainable development projects in manufacturing, infrastructure, and agri-business. The Fair returns this December amidst growing demand for a dedicated space to connect investors with impactful business opportunities. The finalists taking stage at the December fair are Ukraine, Morocco, and Namibia. As the pandemic restrictions begin to lift, the SDG Investment Fair in December 2021 will offer both in-person and virtual spaces for networking, pitches of projects, investor exchanges, knowledge sharing, and informational sessions. The Fair will feature:
- Presentations of investment opportunities in SDG projects
- Expert panel discussion on leveraging Public Development Banks to drive financing for the SDGs
- Informational session on available resources on SDG investments from within the UN ecosystem
- Direct interaction between countries and investors
