Unlocking Business
LLDC3 Private Sector Forum
Bringing the voice of the private sector to the heart of the UN’s next decade of development for landlocked developing countries.
The Forum will provide a platform to engage with world leaders, UN Heads, chief executives, investors and others to shape the sustainable development agenda to achieve the SDGs.
About the forum
The Private Sector Forum at LLDC3 provides a once-in-a-decade opportunity to build transformative partnerships and mobilize long-term investment and finance in the 32 landlocked developing countries, which have a combined population of 570 million people, set to reach 1 billion by 2060.

The two-day PSF will feature a high-level opening dialogue, four thematic sessions, side-events and networking and exhibition areas with booths. The forum will provide a platform for direct interaction between company representatives and delegations from all United Nations countries, as well as United Nations agencies, investment promotion agencies, and other stakeholders, offering business and development networking opportunities and the chance to shape development policy.
