Understanding IP - current vs. target innovation procurement

πŸ“’ The Innovation Procurement Challenge πŸ“’

 

Did you know that innovation procurement accounts for just 10.6% of the market today? Despite its immense potential to drive economic growth and improve public services, systemic barriers continue to hinder the adoption of innovative solutions by the public sector.

 

The Stakes Are High:

  • Economic Impact: A limited focus on innovation procurement stifles market competitiveness and the development of groundbreaking solutions.
  •  
  • Systemic Barriers: Regulatory complexity, risk aversion, and lack of capacity often deter public organizations from embracing innovative procurement practices.

 

This is where the Centre for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (C2I) comes in as a strong partner at ECLIPSE β€”a project designed to break down these barriers and create a transformative pathway for innovation procurement across Europe.

 

πŸš€ Our Mission: To empower public sector organizations, foster collaboration with private innovators, and build capacity for sustainable, impactful innovation procurement.

Call to Action: Let’s rise to the challenge together! πŸŒŸ
