Day 1 of the International Conference on Procurement & Innovation in Africa (Part 1 of 4)

Day 1 of the International Conference on Procurement & Innovation in Africa: Part 1 of 4 As part of its core mandate of unlocking science and technology, and driving innovation for development, the National Research Foundation of South Africa is hosting a major, one-of-a-kind international conference on public procurement and innovation in the African context on 14 (Day 1) and 15 (Day 2) November 2023. This event, hosted in partnership with the African Procurement Law Unit (housed at the Stellenbosch University Law Faculty) and themed the Public Procurement & Innovation in Africa, will be a game changer in leveraging massive public procurement spend to advance innovation and ultimately development on the African continent. The conference will aim to: • Raise awareness of the linkage between public procurement and innovation among all relevant local stakeholders (in both the private and public sectors). • Create the basis upon which policy and law reform can be spearheaded to facilitate the use of public procurement as an innovation policy tool. • Enable South Africa and other African countries to draw on experience in other systems that have used public procurement as an innovation policy tool more extensively. • Generate a basis for increased scholarship on public procurement and innovation in Africa.
