2015 is the year of Sustainable Development and it’s time to take action for people and planet. We need your ideas! Join us for the 1st ever Startups event at the UN in Geneva.

Innovation for Sustainable Development Goals

2015, the year of the 70th anniversary of the UN, is key milestone for the world. UN Member States will adopt and ambitious and action-oriented Post-2015 Development Agenda with sustainable development goals, in New York in September.

The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) is on the front line to give its contribution. At the same time, there is a “startup revolution” going on in the world, producing most of the innovation with an impact on our day-to-day life, and changing the way we do business.

We, at UNECE, want to bring such powerful engine of transformation into our work for sustainable development and green economy to improve people’s wellbeing.

Engaging Startups

On 14 April 2015, UNECE will host the first time ever startups’ event at the Palais des Nations in Geneva. The event will show-case how innovative entrepreneurial talent can contribute to address today’s social and environmental challenges, through new groundbreaking ideas that can become successful business.

It will take place in the context of the 2015 UNECE session (Geneva 14-16 April) a high-level inter-governmental gathering, where delegates of 56 Member States, will commit to actions to advance the sustainable development agenda in the region in the years to come.
