What a journey! Over the course of a period of 18 months and 23 dialogues on strategic procurement across Europe, we’ve built a wealth of knowledge and forged meaningful connections. The purpose of the project was to organise workshops in each Member State to provide a dialogue between stakeholders on the use of public procurement as a strategic lever for innovative and sustainable public policy development. More than 700 participants from national, regional and local authorities came together to tackle complex challenges like fostering innovation, advancing sustainability, and meeting policy objectives through strategic public procurement.

The grand finale took place on January 21st with a vibrant final conference, designed to serve as a platform for showcasing the findings and perspectives that have emerged from the conducted workshops, with an emphasis on the developed roadmaps. Additionally, along with the creation of the Dialogues Community of practice, that counts up to 60 members, the event sought to enhance interaction and cooperation between stakeholders and the European Commission.
