The European Innovation Council (EIC) is a proposal of a council with the mission of supporting the commercialization of technologies in the European Union. From my point of view, this role can be perfect to promote and support public procurement of innovation across the European Union, specially among public administrations with difficulties to manage that kind of procedures.

The EIC can coordinate all European innovation projects including public procurements of innovation. An important aspect is to put together offer and demand of innovative solutions, as well as giving technical advice to public administrations that have difficulties to put in place this kind of projects.

The EIC can also check that intellectual property rights derived from investigations funded by a public administration are shared with other economical agents.
