The European Assistance for Innovation Procurement (EAFIP) initiative supports public procurers across Europe in developing and implementing innovation procurement.
The aim of the EAFIP-initiative is to promote good practices and reinforce the evidence base on completed innovation procurements across Europe. To encourage other public procurers to start new PCP and PPI procurements and
to boost the digital-green economy recovery through Innovation Procurement (PCP & PPI).
Since the start end of 2014 EAFIP organised 13 successful events and numerous webinars, created a knowledge-packed toolkit and 12 informative videos, and provided assistance to public procurers in the development and implementation of their innovation procurement.
No less than 29 innovation procurements of high impact ICT-related solutions were and/or are supported through EAFIP up to present. Across Europe, public procurers are able to move ahead with innovation procurements.
