The acquisition of innovation by public organisations enables better and more efficient service delivery to citizens and customers.
These organisations can acquire innovation via direct procurement from the market when a mature solution is available.
However, frequently these organisations have unmet needs that require innovative solutions that are not yet widely available in the market. InnoBuyer offers a programme that brings together Challengers (public entities with unmet innovation needs) and Solvers (Innovative SMEs), to jointly co-create new solutions, applying a demand-driven approach, and speeding-up the process leading to a concrete innovation procurement.
The InnoBuyer Call for Solvers aims to select and fund 15 innovative companies, to co-create pilots addressing the specific innovation needs of public organisations.
