Scope:
Based upon the findings from IMAILE PCP of Innovative STEM/PLE (www.imaile.eu), the project LEARNTECH ACCELERATOR (LEA) will take a quantum leap from being one standalone project to join a critical mass of European procurers who will:
- Unify LEA procurers network and “Observer Cities “
- Implement IMAILE PCP lessons learned as LEA baseline
- Recommend a LEARNTECH Demand policy – 2030 to reduce fragmentation of the public sector
- Enable increased dialogue between demand/ supply side
- Provide transfer of knowledge for the LEARNTECH community (other procurers, industry, start-ups , end – users and policy level) in order to remove barriers of innovative procurement
- Prepare one PPI (based upon IMAILE) and one additional future PCP
- Speed up awareness rising of innovative procurement including cross sectorial value chains
This unified and knowledge based action will result in the LEA ROADMAP 2030 including:
- Critical mass of European procurers of LEARNTECH in collaboration acting first customers
- User cases for evidence of cost& time saving/ standardization/ interoperability as results of innovative procurement
- 2030 LEARNTECH market foresight and demand policy
- Training material/methods/tools for increased competence and dynamic dialogue among LEARNTECH community
- One prepared PPI based upon IMAILE with lessons learned
- One additional prepared PCP identified in LEA
