• Do you consider that PTP in ICT is sufficiently recognised as a priority to stimulate research and innovation in your country?
• What do you see the main benefits and drivers of using PTP in ICT?
• What are the perceived risks and barriers preventing from doing more PTP in ICT? • Future opportunities: more or less PTP?
• What do you think are the ‘best’ sectors for doing more PTP of ICT? • What would you recommend to be done to stimulate ‘more’ PTP in ICT? • How do you see the role of Europe in this domain?
What are the areas where there is a clear European added value? How could it be organised?

Abstract
This report discusses the findings of a study carried out by JRC-IPTS which aimed to assess the status of public technology procurement in the EU member states in terms of size, evolution, drivers and barriers. As the study was exploratory, it cannot be claimed that the results are conclusive. However, they have clarified several important points which are worth considering in the policy-formulation process.
The public sector has the potential to positively influence innovation and R&D through public procurement. It provides a sufficient and stable demand for innovative products, thereby reducing the risks associated with innovation for suppliers. It also acts as the main or first user of new products or services. Thus, public procurement can be most influential in the early stages of the life-cycle of a product, promoting emerging industries.
The mission of the JRC is to provide customer-driven scientific and technical support for the conception, development, implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As a service of the European Commission, the JRC functions as a reference centre of science and technology for the Union. Close to the policy-making process, it serves the common interest of the Member States, while being independent of special interests, whether private or national.
