In focus Reminder: Call for proposals "Supporting public procurement for innovative solutions (PPI) in eHealth, active and healthy ageing and assisted living" The PPI pilot is a new instrument to "pilot" European Commission's support to public procurement of innovative solutions in the ICT PSP part of the CIP program. The objective of PPI pilots is to reinforce early deployment of innovative ICT solutions by enabling trans-national buyers groups of public procurers – possibly together with other types of procurers - to overcome the fragmentation of demand for innovative ICT solutions in Europe, and to share the risks and costs of acting as early adopters of innovative solutions. The call foresees EUR 5 million for supporting up to 2 PPI projects in the ICT for active ageing domain, and EUR 5 million for up to 2 PPI projects in the ICT for health domain.
