The Industrial Park Platform - IPP is a global knowledge platform that serves as a resource centre for industrial parks and other related area development initiatives around the world. Knowledge sharing is one of the most valuable tools for developing countries and transition economies to learn from each other, develop effective institutions, and build capacities. South-South cooperation becomes a major instrument as it helps replicate and upscale good practices and facilitate technology transfer useful to develop Sustainable Industrial Parks, thus contributing to the attainment of the SDGs. Following this approach, the SIPP platform features tools and knowledge developed and gathered from various UNIDO programs and funded by different donors, offering a wide set of learning activities and best practices.
