Promoting Participation in European Innovation Procurement
ML Impact is proud to highlight the recent achievements in promoting Swedish participation in European innovation procurements. Marie-Louise Eriksson, project manager at Ideon Innovation, played a key role in the success of the Boost project. This initiative, funded by Swelife, aimed to encourage more Swedish companies to engage in EU's pre-commercial procurements (PCP) in the health sector.
Key Insights from the Boost Project
Increased Participation: Boost successfully increased the number of Swedish companies participating in EU innovation procurements. This was achieved by providing hands-on support and practical information to navigate the complex application processes.
Strategic Guidance: Marie-Louise emphasized the importance of understanding future needs outlined in the procurement challenges. This allowed companies to align their offerings with the specific demands of international markets without extensive additional research.
Successful Outcomes: The project saw significant success, with several Swedish companies advancing to the next stages of the procurement process. Notably, firms like Addi Medical benefitted greatly from Boost’s support, which was crucial in their decision to participate.
Long-term Impact: The knowledge and methodologies developed during Boost are set to continue influencing the sector. Efforts have been made to educate innovation offices and incubators on these processes, ensuring sustained engagement and capacity building within Sweden.
