INTRODUCTION

Registration for company representatives is now closed because our maximum capacity has been reached

The annual EU UN-Procurement Seminar in New York provides participants with the information and tools to access the UN-market place. The main goal is to advise European-based companies on being successful in doing business with UN organizations.

In 2008 the overall procurement volume of UN organizations increased to $13.6 billion, representing an increase of approximately 26%. This increase is attributable to most UN organizations experiencing a boost in overall procurement volume for both goods and services for the 6^th sequential year. This offers a wealth of opportunities for the private sector. However, companies do not always use their full potential within the UN market due to a variety of factors, such as unfamiliarity with the UN system and its opportunities, pitfalls, and lack of personal networks.

Therefore the 7^th EU UN-Procurement Seminar will be organized on April 12^th-13^th-14^th * 2010. Previous years the seminar was held at the UN Headquarters. Due to ongoing renovations in 2010 at the UN Headquarters the seminar will take place at the Bohemian National Hall on the Upper East Side of New York City. To give participants the opportunity to see the UN headquarters we plan to organize a guided tour at the UN headquarters (approx. 45 minutes) on Wednesday afternoon.

A wide range of workshops will be offered in order to enhance your company's knowledge on several products and services procured by UN-organizations. The workshops will also focus on practical tips for dealing successfully with UN procurement.

As a unique feature, the EU UN-Procurement Seminar in New York provides participants the opportunity to meet one-on-one with UN buyers and decisions makers that are specialized in your company's own products and services (click here to see what the UN organizations procured in 2008). These one-on-one meetings will be arranged based on your request and on the company profile that you provide us with upon subscription.

Participation in the seminar is open to EU based companies, focusing on (but not limited to) a selection of the following industries:

Engineering & Construction Services
Security Goods & Services
IT Services & Software
Emergency Related Goods
Logistics & Transportation
Health Care
Environmental Technologies

* Regarding the third seminar day (April 14^th); no presentations or workshops will be given on this day but please be aware that EUPF can schedule requested one-on-one meetings for your company in the morning of April 14th as well.
