On 30th September 2025, a private-sector delegation of 35 European companies organized by UNIDO ITPO Bonn, Germany in collaboration with UNIDO ITPO Italy was hosted at ITPO Italy premises to meet with Rome Based UN Agencies, namely the Food & Agriculture Organization (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP).

During the roundtable, representatives of WFP, FAO and UNIDO discussed partnerships and procurement opportunities, sharing best practices and lessons learned from collaborations between UN and the private sector. The following session featured multiple company presentations operating in the field of sustainable agricultural mechanization and farming systems; food processing, storage, and loss reduction; renewable energy and climate-smart agrisolutions; and innovation, digitalization, and skills development - with a focus on working experience in remote, conflict-prone, resource-scarce countries.

This successful event was part of a two-day mission of the delegation, also featuring visits to other Rome Based Agencies, including the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
