What is the SDG Investment Fair?
The SDG Investment Fair is a platform for connecting investors, private and public institutions, and UN representatives to build collective action to reach the 2030 SDG Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals through concrete investment opportunities.
Launched in 2018, the SDG Investment Fair has evolved from an annual event to a year-round platform. The Fair's principal component involves organizing 1-2 annual events, which enable countries to present investment projects that advance their SDG Agenda directly to potential investors.
The Fair facilitates partnerships and networking, peer learning, and capacity building on SDG investment project preparation and financing. It has developed knowledge tools and customized workshops to enhance the investment readiness of countries' pipelines including focusing on essentials like navigating the financing landscape, project risk mitigation, SDG impact assessment, and developing effective investment pitches.
