An interactive web site for public administrations and companies to provide both an invaluable tool for knowledge and for sharing the best inovations with each other and the different suppliers of products and services. Integrate into a web site all useful and actualized information related with innovative projects developed by companies and administrations. Doing this, interested users can exchange, learn, judge, contrast data and ideas with other project managers or interested people.

Policy Context

To communicate experiences between administrations is today’s challenge. The daily workload of managers and directors makes it very difficult for them to be informed and communicate in real time, about the successful projects, plans and solutions that other administrations are developing.

Description of target users and groups

Through this web site, administrations will arrange a selection of innovative projects and services to verify with other administrations. It will also include a contributor section with contact information to facilitate discussion forums, and up-to-date competition invites. Companies will arrange a specialized channel to present their projects and innovative services to public managers. Presented solutions will encompass all areas and services typical to public administrations.

It is a "completely free service" for administration users.
