Innovation Procurement Hubs Programme – Expression of Interest Survey Continuing Momentum Across Europe

Future Starts in Europe

The Expression of Interest (EOI) Survey for the Innovation Procurement Hubs programme is open.

We are pleased to continue the programme’s engagement across the community. The first advisory support packages have already been completed, with two more currently underway. Through our collaboration with these three public authorities, we have already provided support across areas including KPI framework development, target-setting, financial planning, leadership mindset, and co-creation frameworks. We would also like to thank everyone who has already participated and completed the survey. The level of interest so far has been very encouraging, and we are excited for the collaboration ahead.

Through the survey, applicants can express interest in tailored advisory support, participation in peer-to-peer exchanges, or both. This offers public authorities the opportunity to access targeted support to address internal challenges related to innovation procurement, strengthen relevant practices and frameworks, and connect with peers to exchange knowledge and good practices.

If you have not yet done so and would like to explore this opportunity, we warmly encourage you to complete the survey here

For further details on the advisory support packages, the peer-to-peer exchange framework, and how the submitted information will be used in the selection process, you can consult the webinar presentation and recording here, as well as the related Q&A document here.

We look forward to continuing this engagement and supporting more public authorities on their innovation procurement journey.
