The Customer, in the context of innovation projects, places a strong emphasis on forward-thinking procurement practices.

The government adopts procurement strategies that motivate suppliers to present advanced, sustainable, and ethically sound solutions, prioritizing those who offer more than just the norm. Sustainability is central to their purchasing decisions, weighing the environmental footprint, societal responsibility, and enduring benefits of procured items. The government proactively engages with innovators and startups early in the procurement cycle, tapping into fresh perspectives on emerging technologies and solutions. To spur innovation, they offer incentives, whether financial, extended contracts, or assistance in regulatory navigation, to suppliers that cater to their specific needs. The outcomes of these procurement efforts are closely monitored and evaluated, assessing their alignment with sustainability objectives, cost efficiency, and overall efficacy. By embracing these procurement practices, the government acts as a catalyst in the innovation landscape, promoting the creation and uptake of pioneering solutions for a sustainable and inventive society.
