"The new Cooperation Framework builds on the results of the long-standing cooperation between the Government of Azerbaijan and UNIDO and will guide joint efforts for a strengthened partnership in the next five years," UNIDO said.

According to the source, over the past two years, the Government of Azerbaijan and the UNIDO have been working together to strengthen the innovation ecosystem and unlock the country’s potential for digital transformation.

As the source noted, in the long run, the UNIDO projects have the potential to have an impact across different sectors of the country’s economy.
