InnoBuyer announces 15 Open Market Consultation events

​The EU-funded project InnoBuyer has just announced a series of online Open Market Consultation Sessions, tailored to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) developing innovative solutions. These events will focus on each of the 15 InnoBuyer Challenges, proposed by the big private and public organisations with unmet innovation needs participating in the InnoBuyer support programme.

The InnoBuyer project has onboarded Challengers from different sectors, such as Education, Energy & Water, Healthcare, Public Administration, Manufacturing, and Transports. Through these events, InnoBuyer aims to facilitate fruitful discussions between the Challengers and innovative solution providers, potential Solvers of these Challenges.

Participants in the Open Market Consultation Sessions will have the chance to learn more about the funding opportunities associated with each challenge, interact with the Challengers to discuss potential solutions, development barriers, and possible types of pilots.
