The 2016 Procura+ Seminar took place on Friday 14 October 2016 in Rome. More than 100 participants from cities and regions across 22 countries came together to connect, exchange and act on sustainable procurement.
The seminar was organised in cooperation with Lazio Region and the Forum CompraVerde-BuyGreen conference, together with the SPP Regions and GPPbest project consortia. The programme included keynote presentations, workshops and interactive sessions aimed at building and strengthening existing networks.
The Procura+ participants and strategic partners meeting took place on 13 October, with a focus on sharing experiences and exchanging ideas on best practice, barriers, tools and support for progress in sustainable and innovation procurement.
The programme for the seminar and meeting was designed with an emphasis on learning through application and building relationships among public procurers and experts in Sustainable Public Procurement.
