Topic
This e-presentation provides a comprehensive exploration of the subject of innovation public procurement, focusing on the Commission Guidance on Innovation Procurement, which was officially adopted in June 2021. The guidance serves as a fundamental framework for facilitating innovation within procurement processes.
The presentation delves into various strategies and approaches that can be employed to foster innovation-friendly environments in all types of procurement procedures. These approaches aim to attract innovative solutions and yield mutual benefits for both the buyer and the supplier involved.
One of the central components of the e-presentation is a thorough examination of the key features inherent in specific public procurement procedures that involve the acquisition of Research and Development (R&D) services. These procedures, outlined in the Commission Guidance, outline best practices for engaging with suppliers who specialize in R&D, thereby promoting cutting-edge advancements and breakthroughs in various sectors.
Additionally, the presentation addresses significant considerations related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) and State aid. These aspects play a crucial role in innovation procurement, as they govern the ownership, usage, and protection of intellectual assets resulting from the procurement process.
