The Aragonian Institute of Health Sciences (IACS) Chair on Innovation Procurement in Health will hold its first Innovation Procurement in Health Congress. This is part of the strategy to promote and consolidate the Innovation Procurement in the Department of Health of the Government of Aragon as a vital instrument to ensure that public health needs are met through intelligent and innovative solutions.
IACS and the University of Zaragoza intend to develop a joint project of training, research, technology transfer and knowledge in order to generate and exchange knowledge in this field.
Purpose of the event
The purpose of the congress is to put on the table all the aspects that have to be taken into account in order to launch a process of this kind and the success stories that have already been experienced in Spain.
Experts in public procurement for innovation (PPI) and public workers, will present the details of the different processes that have been initiated in Spain in this field and that have contributed to introducing products and services adapted to the needs of the clients and in which innovation has been included as a determining factor.
The program also includes a round table on ways to finance Innovation Procurement, emphasizing the FEDER plans or H2020 calls and financial tools.
