Open Market Consultations

The Open Market Consultations (OMC) aim to communicate procurers’ needs to the market. A series of webinars, e-pitching sessions, and a main event serve as a tool to achieve this goal and address security challenges.

The SHIELD4CROWD team has prepared a document that includes all the information about the planned OMC. To learn more, open it using this link.

OMC Goals

Expressing procurers' requirements to the market.
Cross-checking the findings of the state-of-the-art analysis.
Obtaining information on existing (or to be developed) technologies.
Validating the technical and financial provision of the future PCP.
Explaining IPR-related issues to the market.
Collecting insights on industry skills to fine-tune the tender specification.
Raising awareness in the industry about the upcoming PCP.
Building trust between buyers and potential suppliers.
Facilitating the building of consortia to participate in the PCP.
Identifying market risks.

E-Pitching Sessions

In the e-Pitching sessions, market suppliers will have the opportunity to present how their existing solutions could address selected procurement challenges. These events will also help the consortium validate the technical and financial provisions of a future pre-commercial procurement (PCP).
