This third joint meeting of the GPP2ADRION Transnational Network will focus on
practical experiences and applications of Green Public Procurement, while taking stock
of the project’s key results and defining the Network’s priorities for the months ahead.

The thematic session will showcase two practical examples of GPP implementation:
circular procurement strategies from the City of Zurich, focusing on bridging the
innovation gap between buyers and suppliers to unlock sustainable solutions, and
green tenders for the energy refurbishment of public buildings, featuring operational
insights and lessons learned from the Greek GRASPINNO pilot experience.

Each thematic session will conclude with an interactive Live Poll and Q&A, providing
participants with an opportunity to share their feedback, assess the session and
suggest topics and areas of interest for future Network meetings.
