Since early 2011, SERGAS, with the collaboration of ACIS (Galician Health Knowledge Agency), has promoted several PPI initiatives which include Public Procurement of Technology and Pre-commercial Public Procurement of technology like InnovaSaúde, Hospital2050, and Código100 innovation plans; and ongoing PCP initiatives such as INNOVATRIAL and Innova MicroLab.
Due to those successful experiences, SERGAS has become an european reference in this field. As a result, in 2021 the European Innovation Council awarded this effort with the European Innovation Procurement Award.
