Unlock UN Business Opportunities: How to Sell Your Products and Services to the United Nations

Cost: Free

Discover how Welsh companies can access one of the world's largest procurement markets. Hear from the Department for Business and Trade at the British Embassies in Geneva and Copenhagen and learn how to win contracts with the United Nations and other international aid organisations

The UN system procured $22.7 billion worth of goods and services in 2025, sourcing from suppliers in 227 countries and territories across sectors ranging from healthcare and life sciences to technology, engineering, education, professional services, logistics, energy, construction and sustainability. The UK currently ranks 2nd in the league table for supplying countries.

This event will introduce Welsh businesses to the significant commercial opportunities available through the United Nations and the wider humanitarian and development sector. These organisations purchase everything from innovative technologies and consultancy services to specialist equipment, infrastructure solutions and professional expertise.

During the seminar, you will learn:

•         Why international organisations can be valuable customers for UK businesses

•         How UN procurement works and where opportunities are advertised

•         Which products and services are most in demand

•         How to register as a supplier and position your business for success

•         Practical tips for competing for international tenders and winning contracts overseas

•         Hear first-hand experience from a Welsh company.

You'll hear directly from trade advisers based in key UN and international procurement hubs, who support UK companies pursuing aid-funded and multilateral business opportunities around the world.

Following the seminar, attendees will have the opportunity to book a one-to-one meeting to discuss their business, explore relevant opportunities and receive tailored guidance on next steps.

Whether you are new to UN procurement or seeking to expand your export reach, this event will help you understand how to do business with the UN and access procurement opportunities.
