Innovation took center stage on 24 April 2024, as Big Buyers Annual Event played host to a pitching session organized by the SPIN4EIC Programme, powered by EIC Business Acceleration Services. EIC beneficiaries from across Europe gathered at Maison de la Poste, in Brussels, to showcase their groundbreaking digital solutions to an audience of prominent public buyers.

The collaboration between the SPIN4EIC Programme and Big Buyers Working Together Initiative proved instrumental in facilitating this event. With a shared goal of promoting innovative and sustainable procurement practices, the stage was set for transformative partnerships between EIC beneficiaries and public buyers.

The Big Buyers Annual Event offered a platform for networking and exploration, with representatives from cities such as Lisbon, Gothenburg and Haarlem in attendance. Participants seized the opportunity to exchange ideas, forge connections, and explore potential collaborations that could reshape public services across Europe.

For attendees, the SPIN4EIC Pitching Session represented more than just a chance to showcase their innovations — it was an opportunity to connect with potential clients and collaborators who could help propel their solutions to new heights. Whether revolutionizing healthcare, mobility, or public infrastructure, these digital innovations have the power to shape the future of public services in Europe
