The PPIR programme's economic impact is given by:

1) Its approach further streamlines existing innovation procurement programmes adopted by a number of countries, including the EU, the US, and Korea. The programme works in conjunction with associated public R&D projects to identify technological novelty and highlight potential social, economic impacts, building confidence basis for subsequent government and public procurements. The procurement service can access wider pool of innovative technologies along with expert researchers. Researchers now have a leeway to push their technology into markets. Governments can leverage a network of suppliers and buyers in developing more effective sectoral policies.

2) It improves the quality of public services to citizens. Instead of vague R&D goals, projects are clustered and connected, and the public policies are designed with higher resolution, for more effective public service delivery.

3) Most importantly, it enhances policy credibility.

Motivated by the EU’s PPI programme, the Ministry of Science has formed a conceptual framework jointly with the Office of President, the Ministry of Economy, and the PPS in 2019. The PPIR was approved internally in September. Experts from academia, industry, central and municipal government participated to develop the programme. In January 2020, the programme became official after a 30 day public notice, and work is currently being conducted with applicants to help their products reach public procurement in the field of biotechnology, emergency food supply, smart cities, AI based public services, etc.

• The Ministry of Science designs and implement policies for the PPIR, along with actual design and execution of certification processes, securing necessary budgets, mobilizing experts, and conducting publicity efforts.
• The Public Procurement Service works with the programme in evaluating products for their procurement worthiness, as well as registering the products before and after certification for the actual procurement processes.
• The Industrial Technology Association runs the expert panel reviews.
• Researchers & private companies.

Small and Medium-Sized Innovative companies benefits from early sales and opportunities to forge their innovative products through public procurement.

Universities and Government Labs benefit from their research results channelling through market. Their work could be better evaluated for a virtuous cycle of re-investment.

Government, both central and municipal, benefit from more innovative public service offerings.

Citizens also benefit from higher levels of public service.

The programme was able to reconcile a number of national agencies because of differences among ministries. For an example, a technology has been developed by a certain ministry, however, the public procurement services were only offered to a handful of ministries with limited scope and classifications. The programme was able to pull a wider technology and innovation base into the innovative product procurement processes, with much more expertise support.

The model is quickly taking hold across different agencies. It will gradually expand into other agencies. Public response is extremely positive. Quite a few researchers, scientists, and innovative entrepreneurs were waiting for a programme such as the PPIR.

While it has wider positive public response and potential for effectiveness, it requires more attention than the traditional approach. There is the need to run 24 expert committees and knit together voices from government, industry, academia and citizens. It is quite a burden. The objective is to secure the necessary budget and organisation to match the increasing demand for PPIR.

The process is extremely interwoven by design. While such design is intentionally put in place, it demands much efforts from public officers and experts participating in the process. Probably the key success factor for the project is speed to implement, as many of the similar initiatives have dwindled because the speed to implement policies was not on part with speed of innovation in the market.

The PPIR model is being replicated by other agencies with necessary modifications, in order to suit their own policy goals. Factors that would condition replication can include:

- Availability and access to R&D resources with sufficient technical discussions.
- Availability of experts who can analyse different innovations from a technical perspective, as well as a social and economic one.
- Ministries willing to take risks and change course of their routines and policies.
- Officials who are willing to test different approaches to their policy making process.

One of the most important lesson from using the model was the leveraging of untapped motivations of stakeholders. While researchers and scientists are willing to help the market leverage their technologies, many of the government systems do not allow ready access to unproven technologies. With the help of the Office of the President and the Ministry of Economy, the programme was able to include the scientific community into the government procurement processes, and stakeholders were able to settle their differences. Often different agencies speak different technical languages and bring in different perspectives. The gap was narrowed.
