PreCo

Project acronym: PreCo

Project name: Enhancing Innovation in Pre-Commercial Public Purchasing Processes



Project duration: 1.11. 2009 - 31.10. 2011


Objectives: The objective of this thematic network is to address identified barriers in public sector RDI and pre-commercial procurement, and contribute to Lisbon strategy for growth and globalization: “Investments in R&D alone will not guarantee an improved R&D performance”. Thus the project addresses the objective 9.3. General accompanying measures: raise awareness of pre-commercial innovation in Europe and exchange experiences between stakeholders, as well as to debate concrete mid-to-long term public needs that would require the development of new technology solutions with a potential role for pre-commercial procurement strategies. This network will bring together stakeholders from the various parts of public sector service design, management and RDI process: Cities and councils, innovation agencies, companies providing services for the public sector, European network of Living Labs and research institutes and universities.

The overall objective is to support public authorities in undertaking pre-commercial procurement actions which stimulate innovation and citizen participations. In this project we focus on timely topics of eHealth and eEnergy.
