Public procurement is an underused goldmine.
It is one of the world’s most powerful industrial-policy tools.
Rather than treating procurement as a routine administrative task, policymakers must harness it to guide innovators toward developing and scaling solutions to complex societal challenges, from infrastructure to climate resilience.
The Cube is a re-frame of existing processes in the public procurement system, that when used in partnership with local innovation authorities can lead to spurring innovation, and hence growth.
It challenges the notion that procurement law should be suspended in the name of innovation. The relevant question would be how familiar and lawful procurement tools can be reframed so that public buyers learn about technological possibilities, reduce uncertainty, validate solutions, and scale what works.
