Hosted by the Ministry of Interior of the Slovak Republic, in Bratislava, the topic for our iProcureNet 2023 Annual Conference is “Building a sustainable innovation ground for procurement of security solutions in Europe – from public procurement to joint public procurement of innovation”.

A sustainable network and community for all key stakeholders in public procurement will help build a more resilient Europe in terms of security. Developing a stronger ground for joint public procurement is crucial and it starts with gathering common needs amongst Member States. A productive and transparent relationship with innovators from the start of innovation procurement is key for the success of PCP/PPI projects. These are some of the answers to finding best solutions for the future challenges in the security procurement field.

During this conference, Public administrations, LEAs institutions, prescribers, procurers, legal advisors and innovators will discover and discuss new and developing methods to enhance responsiveness and efficiency during the joint procurement and procurement of innovation processes. With opening talks from representative of Slovak Ministry of Interior, the European Research Agency and the French Ministry of Interior, the conference will also feature the iProcureNet Toolbox, the iProcureNet Network+Community, and the iProcureNet methodology for joint cross border public procurement and procurement of innovation.

We are honored to also count in our programme the participation of DG HOME, Public procurement office of Slovakia, Prevent PCP, PROTECT, EAFIP, CORVERS and more.
