Our latest Europe Direct Core Platform webinar is now live! 🎥

We explored how public procurement — which makes up 14% of the EU’s GDP — can be used to support innovation, sustainability, social impact, and opportunities for SMEs and cooperatives.

With our panel of experts, we discussed:

🌱 How green and socially responsible procurement can help Malta reach EU goals
🤝 How SMEs, cooperatives, and social enterprises can better access public contracts
💡 The role of social clauses, reserved contracts, and impact-driven criteria
🚀 What a truly sustainable public procurement system in Malta could look like in the next five years
A big thank you to our speakers and to everyone who joined us!
