UNECE Public-Private Partnerships’ Post

🌿I look forward to discussing how innovation-enhancing procurement (IEP) can be further integrated into public-private partnership practices to foster transformative innovation at the 8th session of the Working Party on Public-Private Partnerships at the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe 👏Public procurement is evolving. Traditional approaches focused on cost, quality, and functionality are replaced by strategies and methods prioritizing sustainability, environmental responsibility, and societal benefits. 🌍By leveraging the strengths of both public and private sectors, public-private partnerships can address pressing societal challenges while fostering long-term competitiveness and sustainability. 💚Let’s advance innovation, sustainability, and resilience through smarter procurement practices! #8WPPPP UNECE Public-Private Partnerships Lina Svensberg, Elisabeth Türk, Steven A.

The ERIC family has grown rapidly from 1 to 28 since it took off with SHARE - Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the very first European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC) established in March 2011. Considering that AnaEE received its ERIC status in 2022, it is still a reasonably young member, but has already been very successful in partnering with other RIs and gathering funding from projects at a European level. That demonstrates that the field we work in is very relevant, serving a wide community from food and health to environmental clusters. #researchinfrastructure #collaboration #environment

Really enjoyable session at #WMXEurope today - New Age of Customer-Centric Logistics with some great subject experts: Patrick Frith of Avalara showed how the tricky world of x-border (thanks Boris☹️) can be circumnavigated with clever tech and a dedicated focus on customer experience. Marc Sarmiento showed why he is the 'Q' of Österreichische Post AG with some great customer segmentation and applied solutions from his box of tricks..... and I forgive him for putting me in older segment 😉. Matthew Jacques showed why ZigZag Global are the absolute experts in structured returns solutions with great insight into customer requirements and the interesting inter-relationship with merchant priorities....and now I know what 'reventory' is 😃. Last but not least Misko Kancko from Canada Post / Postes Canada showed he is not only an expert in Scottish Malt Whisky 🥃 but highlighted why top down leadership was imperative in driving a truly customer-centric organisation. Good luck in the next challenge Misko. Really insightful and really easy to Chair with such a nailed-on group - great fun 👍
