This is a very timely book! Public procurement for innovation has
become a prominent tool of demand-side innovation policy in recent
years. A better understanding of the underlying assumptions and
intentions, as well as the opportunities of this bundle of
instruments and their limitations, is highly relevant for both
innovation policy analysts, students and practitioners. The book
presents the latest knowledge and insights of world-leading experts
in the field of public procurement for innovation.' - Stefan
Kuhlmann, University of Twente, the Netherlands, President of the
European Forum for Studies of Policies for Research and
InnovationPublic procurement for innovation (PPI) is a demand-side
innovation policy instrument. It occurs when a public organization
places an order for the fulfillment of certain functions or needs,
which cannot be met at that moment or within a reasonable period of
time through a new or improved product. Providing evidence of the
benefits to public and private actors from selective use of this
policy instrument, this book illustrates the requirements and
constraints for its operationalization. It significantly improves
our knowledge of the key determinants of effective public
procurement, aiming to promote innovative capabilities in the
supplying sectors and beyond. It also provides case studies and
conceptual contributions that help extend the frontier of our
understanding in areas where there are still significant knowledge
gaps. Scholars interested in the study of innovation policies and
practitioners involved in the design, implementation and evaluation
of PPI will benefit from this state-of-the-art exploration.
