Innovation procurement workshop for the environment sector
By developing a forward-looking innovation procurement strategy, the public sector can drive innovation from the demand side. This enables the public sector to modernize public services faster while creating opportunities for companies in Europe to bring research results to the market and gain leadership in new markets.
The european assistance for innovation procurement initiative (eafip) is an initiative supported by the Commission to train and assist public procurers in how to apply innovation procurement in their sector. This particular workshop focuses on public procurers in the environmental sector (ministries, regional and local authorities, environmental protection agencies, public utility companies, etc.).
