14 January 2010: The UN launched “Business.UN.org,” a new website designed to match the needs of UN organizations with the resources and capacities of the private sector.
The new UN-Business partnership gateway will allow companies willing to contribute to the UN to browse through a catalogue of global needs, including combating climate change, and partnership opportunities, or submit ideas for collaboration. Based on shared interests, the site will flag potential matches. [UN Global Compact Press Release] [Business UN Website]
