SUMMARY:SPP | The Integration Imperative: Public Procurement Meets Emerging Tech
DESCRIPTION:+++ Register here (it’s free): REGISTRATION LINK +++ \nPublic procurement is the sleeping giant of government. It holds immense power to shape our future\, yet for decades\, it has remained dormant—bound by red tape and slow to change. \nIt’s time to wake it up. \nThis event is about one thing: the practical integration of emerging technologies into public procurement. Not theory. Not high-level speculation. Real strategies for getting AI\, automation\, and cutting-edge innovation into the hands of the public sector. \nJoin policymakers\, tech innovators\, and procurement leaders as we bridge the gap between legacy systems and the digital future. \nThe giant is stirring. Let’s put it to work. \n*** \n\nJoin the SPP Community for all events\, tools and Ambassador bonuses: sustainableprocurementpledge/register/\nJoin the discussions via our SPP Public Procurement LinkedIn Group: SPP Public Procurement and the SPP Emerging Technology Group: SPP Emerging Technology\nAs with all SPP events and platforms\, we ask attendees for active\, respectful participation and to refrain from sales pitches and solicitation. We kindly ask you to read and adhere to the SPP Netiquette (www.spp.earth)\nThe event will be recorded and shared on the SPP YouTube channel: Sustainable Procurement Pledge – YouTube
