Who is it for – how can you take part

Buyers 

The action is open to private and public buyers that face concrete challenges and are aiming at tackling them through procurement.

Solvers

As soon as the buyers are selected, there will be calls for expression of interest to select innovative SMEs and start-ups (EIC beneficiaries from EIC Pathfinder, EIC Transition, EIC Accelerator, Seal of Excellence and Women Tech EU) to co-create (with the buyers) innovative solutions. These calls will be published, and applications will be possible through the Innobuyers Programme webpage: InnoBuyer – Fast track to innovation procurement
