Ministry of Science and Technology of China, organised this four-day event which will serve as a major preparatory event for the development of the prototype of the Technology Facilitation Mechanism (TFM) online platform. The meeting was part of the activities of the United Nations project on “Mobilizing Science, Technology and Innovation in Developing Countries for the SDGs,” which is funded by the 2030 Agenda Sub-Fund of the UN Peace and Development Trust Fund.
