1. Innovation policies in the EUExample of the Lead Market Initiative
Public procurement: Public Procurement Networks (LMI)
Situation: Too much focus on initial costs:
many key decisions are taken on the basis of the lowest costs instead of quality, safety and environmental criteria and life-cycle costs.
Action: Establish a network between public authorities in charge of procuring sustainable construction
1. Innovation policies in the EUExample of the Lead Market Initiative
From September 2009 to September 2012: 3 networks
1/ “ENPROTEX”: Firebuy (Lead), the National Procurement Agency for the fire and rescue service in England (UK), Belgian Ministry of the Interior IBZ (BE), Dutch national Disaster Response Agency LFR (NL)
http://www.enprotex.eu/index contact: joshua.osifeso@firebuy.gov.uk
Potential results: establishing and sustaining a specialised platform of European Public Procurement, cooperation among public procurers; providing an interface with both end-users and manufacturers, forward commitments for the procurement.

Potential results: developing work Streams and Discussion Groups on https://eulab.viadesk.com in 1. Sustainable renovation - innovative approaches, 2. New technical solutions - innovative solutions for energy efficient buildings, 3. Procuring innovation - procedures and methods, 4. Developing a business case for sustainable construction – life-cycle/whole-life costing (LCC/WLC), 5. Financing & contracting sustainable buildings – innovative solutions, 6. Environnemental standards - applications in construction procurement.
Public authorities who are interested in participating in the online working groups should send an e-mail to sci-network@iclei.org stating their areas of interest.

2. New orientations of Europe 2020 Orientations of the European Research & Innovation Plan
• Focusing R&D and innovation on societal challenges Climate, resource efficiency, health, demographic change
• Broadening policy scope of innovation Support for non-technological, design, services, user innovation and
innovation in public sector/services
• Ensuring partnership and coordination Between policies, demand and supply side actions Between EU, national, regional policies, instruments
• Strengthening innovation chain - from ideas to market Accelerate the path from innovative ideas to new products Stronger demand side - Public procurement, standards, regulations
2. New orientations of Europe 2020
• Problems Lack of harmonised regulations for innovations (e.g. type
approvals of green vehicles) EU standard setting too slow Public procurers lack incentives, knowledge or scale to benefit
from innovation
• Actions14. Screen regulatory frameworks linked to Partnerships (2011) 15. Independent review of EU standardisation system (2012)+
anticipate standards in R&D projects 16. Member States to set aside budgets for SBIR type
procurements, with EC technical/ financial support (2012)
