The Innovation Procurement Brokers (InnoBrokers) project is helping procurers and suppliers from across Europe to engage and discuss opportunities for collaboration. Now, the public authorities working in the project have published nine challenges seeking early-stage ideas for solutions as part of their pre-procurement market engagement.
Agencia Andaluza del Conocimiento (Spain) is looking for a company that can develop and implement an e-infrastructure with the capability to spatially integrate and manage environmental online data, and an intelligent lighting management system for roads using new technologies to adjust and/or adapt the combination of existing technologies. A Danish city and a Danish region are looking for a digital ‘material-passport’ solution that can help data optimisation and support new logistics for collections, sorting, reuse and recycling of post-consumer textile waste.

On the circular textile theme, an Irish County Council is looking to source more sustainable or Circular workwear, specifically, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) for outdoor workers.
