2nd IPH Programme Workshop

Book your calendars for our second Community of Practice workshop on Tuesday, October 21st, from 10:00 to 11:30 am CET!

During this workshop, you will get the chance to hear about what is coming for the second phase of the Innovation Procurement Hubs Programme:

  • We will recap the summary final results from our Ecosystem Mapping exercise (you can find the preliminary insights presented in the interim workshop here).
  • We will discuss the final list of support packages available from 2026 onwards, for direct consulting support to public authorities, expanding on their scope, deliverables, and potential synergies.
  • We will present the framework for the peer-to-peer exchange programme, as part of the support available.
  • We will outline the structure and philosophy of the Expression of Interest system, through which beneficiaries will be able to request both direct consulting support and participation in the peer-to-peer exchange programme.
  • We will answer your questions and lay out the upcoming milestones for support

The workshop will be open to members of the Innovation Procurement Hubs Community of Practice.

📩 More details on registration for the online session will be shared in the coming days — stay tuned!

Future starts where our support meets your commitment!
