Boosting innovation on waste management via procurement (29 September 2017)

During its final international conference on 12 September 2017 in Brussels, the PPI4Waste project gathered public procurers and suppliers committed to boost innovation in the waste sector. The conference showcased the main findings of the project and gave the opportunity of several discussions during which experts and other participants agreed that more cooperation was needed to support public procurement of innovation (PPI) and help increase the uptake of innovative solutions for waste management. Cooperation can indeed facilitate transfer knowledge on PPI, but also lead to concrete coordinated or joint tenders that will reduce costs and risks.

This interactive webinar, organised by ACR+ and the University of Zaragoza, was a catching-up session for those who could not attend PPI4Waste final conference in order to explain practically how public authorities can use procurement of innovation in order to support innovative solutions in the waste management sector.
