Join a 90-minute online event to learn more about the Innovation Procurement Hubs programme on 18 March 2025. Designed to support public authorities across the European Economic Area (EEA), this initiative helps enhance their practices in public procurement of innovation. 

With rapid technological advances reshaping our world, public authorities face increasing pressure to procure innovative solutions, particularly when it comes to partnering with innovative enterprises and start-ups that can bring groundbreaking ideas to life. The European Union’s competitiveness depends on its ability to turn promising concepts into tangible solutions that better serve citizens.

Led by the Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW) and the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA), the Programme provides the resources, guidance, and collaborative network needed to establish and strengthen your own Innovation Procurement Hub. By attending the launch webinar, you will gain insights into the success factors and challenges of innovation procurement through case studies and interactive discussions. Essentially, you will learn how this initiative can help you collaborate more effectively with innovative enterprises and start-ups. 

Their goal is to empower you to bridge the gap between ambition and action, enabling you to source the best solutions for the communities you serve.
