UNIDO's Thematic Priorities
UNIDO has sharpened its technical cooperation activities by focusing on three themes, which directly respond to international development priorities:
Poverty Reduction through Productive Activities -- Enabling the poor to earn a living. As such, UNIDO focuses on micro, small and medium scale enterprise development; rural and agro-industrial development (as well as “rural energy for productive use”) ; and women in development.
Trade Capacity Building -- UNIDO combines building up the technical infrastructure required to participate in international trade (i.e. standards, quality, metrology, accreditation and certification) while strengthening key export sectors that require support services in strengthening/upgrading productive and export capacities .
Energy and Environment -- UNIDO assists countries in the implementation of activities related to the multilateral environmental agreements; the promotion of renewable energy and energy efficiency; and the promotion of sustainable production and consumption practices.
Portfolio of programmes and projects as at end of February 2007 amounted to US$ 146.1 million in 142 countries

There is a changing role of developing countries and transition economies in global foreign direct investment and in the international production system.
The key to higher standards of living and job creation is the extent to which innovative ideas and technologies are embedded in services, products and manufacturing processes.
The UNCTAD World Investment Report 2006 highlights the rise of transnational corporations from developing and transition economies, expanding the range of potential sources of finance, technology and management know-how.
This reflects a greater momentum to South-South and East-South cooperation (technology transfer, share of best practices, joint venture)
Investment Flows and Technology Transfer - Global trends
