BRIDGE for Cities - Belt and Road Initiative: Developing Green Economies for Cities

26. September 2017 - 28. September 2017

The 2nd BRI Event, organized by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and the Finance Center for South-South Cooperation (FCSSC), is a large-scale intervention aimed at advancing the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

UNIDO and FCSSC welcome participants from the public and private sectors, including municipal representatives, development finance institutions, domestic and international enterprises, international organizations, industry association, and experts from academia.

The 2nd BRI event will focus on sector-specific urban-industrial development challenges within the framework of the BRI, which will aid in the development of concrete project-based opportunities for business matchmaking, financing and investment. Throughout the event, UNIDO will highlight cities’ dependence on industrial development for economic and infrastructural growth, as well as industry’s reliance upon resources readily available in urban areas. Project-oriented investment opportunity portfolios will also be developed to better facilitate partnerships between cities, private-sector enterprises and financial institutions.
