During the course of 3 sessions, guests from the public and the private sector will try to better understand the needs of health care stakeholders, identify barriers they face when designing and deploying innovation procurement processes, and discuss ongoing and past best practices to overcome them at a national and EU level. The European Commission will also present opportunities to support innovation procurement offered by European funding programmes, of interest to potential applicants.
