We have gathered people with experience both from the private and the public sector. We believe that there is a lot to be learned from other countries and we have the ambition to focus on the needs and to create more value for money. Our ambition is to create a network of Innovation Procurement Project People that will continue to support each other in their future development. To support this and to facilitating the sharing of experience we plan to arrange an annual reunion around these topics.
