What is public procurement of sustainable innovations?
Public procurement of sustainable innovations refers to the action by which public buyers (such as local authorities, state, hospitals, universities, etc.) use their purchasing power to promote innovative products, services, or works that contribute to ecological transition.
When they engage in public contracts, these entities can encourage the introduction of innovative ecological solutions. The purchase of innovative solutions generally accelerates economic recovery, green and digital transition, the resilience of territories, provides better quality public services with an optimal budget, modernizes public services, and ultimately helps innovative start-ups and SMEs to launch and grow.
These purchases of innovative solutions can cover a variety of sectors, ranging from renewable energy to energy efficiency, sustainable transport, sustainable construction, sustainable waste management, and many others.
