Background

UNIDO will introduce key AIM Global Phase II initiatives and alliance achievements. This session is a series of brief presentations by the AIM Global secretariat to inform participants about new tools and developments as the Alliance moves into Phase II: the AIM Community Platform (a new online collaboration portal) is demonstrated, and the framework for global Centres of Excellence (Intelligent Manufacturing & Robotics Hubs) is unveiled. The session highlights successes from Phase I to provide context.

Attendees become familiar with the resources at their disposal for AIM Global Phase II, with AIM Global shifting to implementation, the BRICS Industrial Competencies Network expanding.

This session ensures everyone is up to date on the Alliance’s newest platforms and partnerships before detailed discussions begin.
