The European Commission has published the call which comes under the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (EIP).
The support to innovative companies is a centrepiece of the European Commission's growth strategy Europe 2020. Since November 2011, the Commission has proposed to provide support to innovative procurement though Horizon 2020, recommended the introduction of a new procurement procedure and launched the 'Public Procurement of Innovation Platform', a European-wide networking platform of link-minded public procurers.
This call provides a bridge between the 11 ongoing PPI pilot projects and the launch of innovation procurement under Horizon 2020. The European Commission calls for project proposals that clearly demonstrate how public procurement bodies will act, during the project, as launch customers for innovative goods or services which are not yet available on a large-scale commercial basis.
