The importance of knowledge transfer to drive sustainable innovation

07/08/2025

Collaboration among agents in finding solutions to the main challenges facing society is essential to amplify results in almost any field.

In recent years, public-private collaboration has become increasingly popular due to its scope and positive impact on the quality of life for society and the problems it seeks to address.

The combination of policies supported by good technical solutions, often already well accepted in the market, allows them to be implemented more efficiently.

In this context, knowledge sharing is key to working along these lines. The so-called knowledge transfer, a term that began to be used decades ago in the university environment, contributes to democratize it and to have more advanced starting elements.

For the administration and its public procurement processes, this approach is essential when adapting to the new strategies designed. Novadays has assumed it and knowledge transfer is one of the axes of its Ecosystem for Circular Public Procurement (ECPC), a tool for public procurement in which to promote the environmental perspective in the process.

The ECPC assists in accessing information and resources on circular public procurement and works as an open and collaborative space that fosters knowledge transfer, increasing synergies between the different agents involved.

The Ecosystem for Circular Public Procurement and this article have been prepared in the framework of the project "Digital transformation of public procurement processes for the promotion of Circular Public Procurement" (EXP/EC/2023/00313), which is a beneficiary of the call for grants for the promotion of the Circular Economy in business for the year 2022 in the framework of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (PRTR) funded by the European Union - NextGenerationEU.
