Public procurement accounts for nearly 15% of Europe’s GDP—yet its power to accelerate innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship is still vastly underutilised.
That’s why the Scalable Cities Initiative of the European Commission is launching a crucial study:
“Innovation Procurement – Bridging the Gap Between Smart & Climate Neutral Cities, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship”
The goal? To identify actionable strategies that empower cities to work more effectively with start-ups and SMEs, and to use procurement as a driver of real urban transformation.
