Public 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.Contributors: Y.

‘This book contributes in two ways: first, it defines concepts and proposes a PPI typology and methodological tools for implementation in future PPI studies to enable consistent comparisons among regions and countries. Second, it provides an empirical survey and case study evidence of the effectiveness of PPI in countries at different stages of development in Europe, the USA, China, and Brazil . . . This book is highly recommended.’
