What is the PPI?
The Public Procurement of innovation (PPI) is an administrative action to promote innovation, aimed at encouraging the development of new products or services from the demand side, through the public procurement instrument.
This new tool for public purchases will be fundamental for the strengthening of innovative companies, by encouraging the private sector to make proposals of greater added value to solve strategic projects of the Administration.
How does it work?
- The administration demands innovative products services (not existing in the market)
- Companies co-develop innovative solutions with the Administration
- The client / end user has better public service at his disposal.

What is purchased through the PPI?
The first thing that must be clarified is that through the PPI a solution-based process is not allowed to make the purchase. That is, it starts from a need of the Administration and is launched to the market as a challenge to be solved through the I + D.
