When? Thursday 16 February 2023, 9-17:30
Where? The OECD Conference Centre in Paris or virtually
The OECD has the pleasure to invite you to the OECD Procurement Day for Finnish Companies. To support its valuable work for building better policies for better lives, the Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development procures goods and services for about 130 MEUR a year on many different sectors. Currently, there are 17 Finnish suppliers but we strongly believe that the number could be higher – hence this event. Other Paris-based international organisations are also invited to participate.
You may also participate virtually.
We are particularly looking for Finnish companies established in the following sectors:
digital solutions
intellectual services
information and communication technology
furniture & other office solutions, building access solutions
publication and communication related equipment and materials
