• Presentation of case examples and lessons learned; and

The workshop was open to public contracting authorities who had a unique chance to openly discuss unmet procurement needs, innovation concepts, project ideas, and much more. All procurers had an opportunity to briefly present their ideas / plan / projects in the parallel sessions.
