Innovation by developing a European Procurer Networking for security research services

Objective

The EU-funded project iProcureNet aims to create an ecosystem of procurers, prescribers, legal advisors and other key stakeholders of security procurement, to share procurement trends and needs, and open pathways for joint procurement. In an innovative three-cycle process, iProcureNet will map the European procurement environment, compare national investment strategies, identify innovation needs, and analyse security markets. iProcureNet will build a lively European community of experts and network of organisations centred on the procurement of security solutions through the appointment of iProcureNet national contacts (IPNCs). Security procurement practitioners as well as experts from academy and industry are invited to contribute to the development of common, standardised, and innovative joint procurement practices and thereby prepare the common European security market.
