WHAT IS THE PROJECT FOR?
This project is a preparatory action for creating innovation procurement policies and instruments that can be effective and sustainable at regional level, but also relevant at European level. The preparatory work will be achieved by using four European regions that cover the full range of innovation performances defined by the EC’s Regional Innovation Scoreboard as development sites: Murcia (ES), Skåne (SE), Bucharest-Ilfov (RO) and Oulu (FI). 
During the project, the project consortium will: 

  1. Gather information from i) regional public bodies in charge of innovation policies and funding instruments, and ii) innovation ecosystem players, which propose and execute projects, using state of the art learnings and best practices. 
  2. Analyse this information to produce a Joint Programme and four regional Action Plans to incorporate innovation procurement 

WHAT FIELD OF KNOWLEDGE THE PROJECT IS AFFECTING?
Innovation Procurement (inP) is the public procurement of innovative goods, services, or works that do not yet exist or that are not currently available on the market. The objective of innovation procurement is to stimulate the development of new solutions that can improve public services or address societal challenges. Its benefits include the creation of new markets, the stimulation of economic growth, and the improvement of public services. 
According to European Commission’s communication “Making Public Procurement work in and for Europe”, improving the quality and transparency of public procurement is a high priority for the EC. A substantial part of public investment in the EU economy is spent through public procurement, representing 14% of the EU’s GDP, with a value of approximately 2 trillion €.
