Pros & Cons

Advantages: OiER has more than 70 years of operating history. Its official UN consultative status gives it strong industry authority, and it has built a global resource network covering governments, enterprises, and international organizations. It has extensive, mature experience in cooperation in the smart sustainable city space, and can match partners with accurate, high-value resources.

Disadvantages: The website has low service transparency with no public pricing, leading to relatively high communication costs in the early stage of cooperation; it only supports an English interface, which is not user-friendly for Chinese users; all services require offline customized matching, so response cycles are long, and the entry barrier is relatively high for small and medium-sized participants.

Who It's For & Access from China

The website is currently directly accessible. It is suitable for large and medium-sized enterprises with demand for international sustainable development project matching, municipal government departments around the world, and academic research institutions seeking funding for international projects. Chinese cities including Foshan and Wuxi have already participated in OiER-related projects, and domestic entities with relevant cooperation needs can contact them directly for inquiries and matching.
