Global investment promotion increasingly depends on trust, shared frameworks and partnership — not capital alone. At the World Investment Forum 2026, UN Trade and Development (UNCTAD) marked six of its new partnerships together in a single signing ceremony, each advancing a different pillar of its work: investment promotion, entrepreneurship development, investment risk sharing and international investment law. Additional UNCTAD partnerships were formalized separately, at other moments throughout the Forum.
The partnerships below were signed with Ms. Nan Li Collins, Head of the World Investment Forum and Director of the Division on Investment and Enterprise at UNCTAD, during this ceremony, held immediately following the Women in Business Awards.
