Entitled "Feedback and opportunities for public procurement of innovation (PPI) in the waste sector", PPI4Waste project's final conference is taking place on 12 September 2017 in Brussels (Belgium). After almost three years of work, the PPI4Waste project is ready to share the main findings of all the research and activities implemented during the project's lifetime to help increase the uptake of innovative waste solutions!
This one day event is divided into two sessions. The first one presents the main findings of the PPI4Waste project and how public procurement of innovation (PPI) can be experimented and stimulated in the field of waste management. It is followed by a session exploring synergies between procurers and projects on innovative solutions. For more details on these sessions, you can browse the programme online.
