Description

The INPROCAP project aims to establish a long-term sustainable advisory platform for innovation procurement within the Big Science innovation ecosystem.

INPROCAP will embed specialized advisory services on innovation procurement amongst the national Industrial Liaison Officers (ILOs) who collaborate with prominent Big Science Organisation (BSOs), such as e.g. CERN and EuXFEL. These organisations at the forefront of innovation and technological advancements in energy, health, materials science, environmental research, and information technology. The project will be presented in the session as well as domains of interest with application to linear colliders. Another topic to be covered in the session is the precommercial procurement scheme set up by CDTI, the Spanish Innovation Agency, to support demand-driven innovation stemming from the needs og Big Science organisations.
