To facilitate procurement of innovative goods and services, the BRINC and P5Innobroker projects have used the Innobroker (Innovation procurement brokerage) method to facilitate communication and strengthen the links between public buyers on the demand side and innovative companies on the supply side. We have assisted in public authorities’ innovation needs assessments and choice of procurement strategy, helped to locate innovative suppliers and aided both parties in pre-tender market dialogues, helped formulate functional demands including legal advice, and seen to that Request For Information and tender material reaches the right target groups. During this webinar you will get to know the benefits and lessons learnt by listening to the project partners as well as some of our participants. The BRINC consortium will also present an open access toolkit.

This workshop is organized in the framework of the EU funded project BRINC.

The BRINC - Brokering cross-border innovation through clusters project brings together Public Authorities (PAs), who are looking for circular solutions, with companies. In this way, the PAs gain knowledge about which products and solutions the companies can offer, and/or the insight that their needs can be met in ways that they were previously unaware of.

The BRINC project is co-funded by the European Union's COSME program (Competitiveness of SMEs).
