Benchmarking of national innovation procurement investments and policy frameworks across Europe

The results of the study SMART 2016/0040 benchmarked national policy frameworks and investments on innovation procurement across Europe. Now available are presentations and a video of the final workshop that presented the results and the country profiles of all 30 benchmarked countries.

The study SMART 016/0040 benchmarked the national policy frameworks for innovation procurement and the national investments on public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI) across Europe. This includes an analysis of investments across different sectors of public interest (e.g. health, transport, security etc.) and strategic expenditure categories, in particular ICT, that fuel public sector modernization. The European Commission has added also the benchmarking for R&D procurement investments across Europe to get the full picture of 'all' innovation procurement investments (R&D+PPI procurement).
