This is the first event ever organised in Portugal about innovation public procurement, one day event with the cooperation of both projects iBuy - Fostering the role of public authorities as demandrs of innovation through public procurement and the P2I – Procure2Innovate- European Network of Competence Centres for Innovation Procurement, with the purpose to discuss the relevance of the procurement competences and policy instruments to support capacity building on the implementation of innovation public procurement. It will be a very important impulse for IPP in the country with a perspective to have around 150 participants total, discussing the role of public procurement to promote innovation.

Innovation Public Procurement (IPP) has a reduced expression in Portugal. This context reinforces the strategic relevance of the collaboration agreement established with IMPIC, which was an important step in the mandate given by RCM 25/2018 to ANI, in order to deepen purchasing procedures that promote innovation, in conjunction with other entities of the Public Administration.

Structuring the joint work of the two entities are the activities carried out under INTERREG iBuy and Horizon 2020 Procure2Innovate, two ongoing European projects coordinated at national level by the ANI, with close assistance of the IMPIC.

In the scope of activity 3.4 of the iBuy project - Fostering the role of public authorities as the demand for innovation through public procurement, ANI is the coordinator of the second thematic seminar under the topic "Capacity building a driver for IPP transnational cooperation".
