Get Early Access to the HIPSS Support Platform

After more than a year of research and development, the first version of the HIPSS Platform has been created. This tool combines the learnings from publications, health innovation procurement projects, dozens of interviews with stakeholders that went through this process, and the experience of our experts in this field, in a platform that contains:

• PCP/PPI step-by-step guidance with in-context resources and advisory support

• Legal support (legal practices, case studies, advisory support)

• Adoption support for health systems to embed PPI in strategy and operations

Your opportunity to take advantage of our support services

We are offering early access to the HIPSS Platform for a select group of procurers, innovators, and systems that are willing to participate in procurement of innovation. Our experts will be able to support you on using the guidance tool and provide ad-hoc advisory support in those areas where you need it the most. This is an EU-sponsored, free-of-charge programme.

Who should apply?

EU-based organisations that fall within one of these categories:

• Healthcare procurers (hospital, healthcare centre, region, etc.) are willing to use innovation procurement (PCP/PPI) or already using it.

• Innovative companies in health (startups, SMEs, multinationals) willing to participate in innovation procurement (PCP/PPI), with or without prior experience.

• Public administrations (health ministries, policymakers, public health advisers, public insurers) aiming to foster the use of innovation procurement instruments (PCP/PPI) or already deploying them. 

• Support entities (public/private) that help innovators or healthcare providers manage PCP/PPI (consultancies, ecosystem partners, etc.).

How the programme works

• We'll schedule an initial meeting where we'll provide further information about what can be done with the platform and also understand the point where you are. Based on your needs we'll see how can we support you and plan next steps.

• We also expect to get your opinion and feedback, as this will be key to keep improving our platform.

• Programme is fully online.

Next steps

• Short form (5-10 min) 

• What we look for: motivation and readiness to use innovation procurement; how much can our platform benefit your case; the likelihood of progressing into a real PCP/PPI; and your interest to shape and improve this platform together.

• Please note that applying does not automatically mean we'll be able to support you. Our capabilities are limited and we want to allocate them on the cases we can help the most.
