About UNIDO Solution Platform (USP)

The USP is a global platform designed to advance sustainable industrial development by enhancing UNIDO’s capacity to mobilize resources, forge partnerships, and scale effective solutions. It connects Member States, academia, and industry with scalable solutions that align with UNIDO’s mission and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Unlike projects that are limited in scope and duration, the USP focuses on scalable solutions - proven strategies that address critical challenges such as ending hunger, stopping climate breakdown, and strengthening sustainable supply chains. These solutions are adaptable to different contexts, enabling a broader impact on sustainable industrial development. The USP unites UNIDO's various interventions into a coherent strategic framework for innovative and impactful partnerships.

Solutions for Sustainable Development

Explore all Solutions

Digitally Transforming Supply Chains in the Coffee Industry

Discover how innovative digital solutions like Google's Earth Engine, AI, and Cloud are revolutionizing the coffee industry by driving sustainability and compliance with regulations like EUDR. Explore the transformative power of technology in enhancing the quality, value, and sustainability of coffee, while fostering essential public-private collaborations for a deforestation-free future.

Circular Innovations

The continued access of companies to the key European Union (EU) market – and thus jobs as well as stability – will be threatened if they fail to quickly fulfil the key requirements of the EU’s Circular Economy Action Plan to: (i) design and manufacture products for circularity; and (ii) provide greater transparency on the environmental impacts of products.

Accelerate-to-Demonstrate (A2D) Facility

The A2D Facility accelerates the commercialization of innovative clean energy solutions in developing countries, focusing on critical minerals, clean hydrogen, smart energy and industrial decarbonization. These areas are crucial for meeting global climate targets and catalyzing sustainable industrial development.
