Experiences and solutions for the development of Green Public Procurement in the renewable energy sector
Successful examples of Green Public Procurement in the energy sector and the elements that have contributed to their success will be presented during the event which is going to take place on Thursday 24th March from 10.00 to 11.30 CET.
In particular, the speakers coming from several different European countries, will discuss how to overcome the bureaucratic, financial and technical barriers that hinder the full involvement of public administrations and innovative companies in the development of GPP in the renewable energy sector. For example, it may be difficult for a public authority to find small and medium-sized enterprises that can offer innovative services. By the same token, complex public procurement procedures might represent a burden for SMEs. These issues are even more relevant when restarting a business after the pandemic.
The meeting is part of a broader process in partnership with European actors and networks that collaborate in the success of these initiatives.
