The "Procurement of Innovation in 2023: challenges and opportunities" online conference was the perfect opportunity for procurement professionals, private and public organisations, and anyone interested in the procurement of innovation to learn from experts and engage in discussions on the current challenges and opportunities in the field.
The keynote speaker Samira Boussetta from the European Commission (DG GROW) provided valuable insights and perspectives on the subject, for anyone looking to stay ahead of the curve in the procurement of innovation.
Additionally, the conference featured a roundtable of experts from various fields who offered their insights and opinions on the challenges and opportunities facing procurement professionals today.
The reverse pitch session, in particular, was a unique and exciting opportunity for attendees to learn about the many EU-supported activities that may be of interest to buyers of innovation. This session allowed attendees to better understand how procurement can be used in 2023 to drive innovation and support the development of new and groundbreaking products and services.
