PARTNERSHIPS
The OiER Partnership Program is one of the most qualified global initiatives in the field of Smart Sustainable Cities, serving as a multi-stakeholder platform for active collaboration.
For businesses, it is constructed to work in a partnership approach with decision-makers, governments, local authorities and international organizations to assess development priorities and needs, create policy frameworks, as well as identify projects, investment tools, and tender opportunities.
The Partnership Program is open to all businesses, cities, projects, stakeholders and activities related to Smart and Sustainable Cities, that can contribute to the achievement of the SDGs and especially Sustainable Development Goal 11: "Make cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable".

BUSINESS Partnership Activities
BE A GAME CHANGER
A partnership supports your company taking a step further to realize your future vision to work towards achieving the SDGs and defining new scalable business streams. The UN Agenda 2030 reflects a profound change in the expectations that society has for business. Private sector action is the key to the successful implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The program is transitioning from a partnership platform to a recognition opportunity for leading companies across a range of sustainability and smart city issues. A company meeting the following criteria will be eligible for recognition through the program:
- Participate in two or more events around the year
- Showcase and share continuous leadership on sustainability and urban development issues, either/both through a history of engagement with the cities or recognition by a range of external sustainability performance assessments
