The Multilateral Industrial Policy Forum (MIPF) serves as a platform for policymakers, development researchers, and business specialists to come together to enhance multilateral cooperation on industrial policies. The United Nations Industrial Development Organization established the Forum to stimulate discussions on the best ways to leverage industrial policies to boost productivity and growth, enhance resilience and environmental sustainability, and address societal challenges. By facilitating the exchange of ideas, the Forum aims to drive inclusive and sustainable industrial development and accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals at both regional and global levels.

Through their participation in the Forum, policymakers and other stakeholders have the opportunity to actively engage in mutual learning, peer collaboration, and the promotion of meaningful dialogue. The exchange of knowledge and experiences enhances participants' understanding of the various stages of the industrial policy-making cycle—namely policy formulation, design, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation—which are crucial for sustainable industrial development. By sharing best practices, innovative approaches, and lessons learned, participants contribute to the continuous improvement of industrial policies.
