UNIDO is a United Nations specialized agency focused on promoting and accelerating industrial development. Its work aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 9, which aims to build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and foster innovation, while its activities contribute to all SDGs. It supports its 173 member states through four core functions: technical cooperation, policy research and advisory services, standards-related activities, and fostering partnerships for knowledge and technology transfer. Based in Vienna, Austria, UNIDO operates as a large international organization focused on trade and development. Its work targets ending hunger, reducing climate impact through renewable energy and energy efficiency, and ensuring sustainable, fair supply chains for producers in developing countries. In early 2026, UNIDO launched Lean Local API Manufacturing to support local production of active pharmaceutical ingredients and reduce import dependence.
