The HOOP project is aimed at fostering investment on urban circular bioeconomy in 8 European pilot cities and region, our “Lighthouses”, through different actions that include the preparation of Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) and Public Procurement of Innovative solutions (PPI) instruments. Other actions are aimed at strengthening forward looking Public procurement strategies in the domain of waste bio-based processes, creating a sector-specific network of Public Contracting Authorities to foster demand for innovation.
