As Big Science Organizations (BSOs) increasingly depend on advanced technologies, procurement is evolving from a transactional role to a strategic driver of innovation. To explore how procurement can better support innovation, a survey conducted by INPROCAP partners in late 2024 and early 2025 gathered insights through structured interviews with BSO professionals. The findings highlight common challenges, effective practices, and opportunities to strengthen collaboration with suppliers—ultimately aiming to accelerate scientific progress through smarter procurement strategies.

The INPROCAP project was proudly represented at the one of the world’s foremost events dedicated to industrial and scientific collaboration in fusion energy, ITER Business Forum. Held in the vibrant city of Marseille, the event brought together global stakeholders committed to making fusion power a reality.

The INPROCAP project is launching a series of expert-led training programs to strengthen innovation procurement capabilities across Europe. These trainings are specially tailored for Industrial Liaison Officers (ILOs) and professionals from Big Science Organizations (BSOs) involved in public procurement processes.

The INPROCAP Community of Practice (CoP) is a dedicated platform that brings together key stakeholders in innovation procurement. Namely Industrial Liaison Officers (ILOs), Big science organizations (BSOs), small and medium enterprises (SMEs), Research and technology organizations (RTOs), and procurement experts. It serves as a space for knowledge exchange, networking, and capacity-building to strengthen collaboration between suppliers and buyers in the Big Science ecosystem.

The European XFEL hosted the INPROCAP project meeting on 9.-10. January 2025 in Hamburg. This crucial networking event provided an
