The funding program aws IÖB-Toolbox is aimed at public procurers and has the purpose of enabling the planning and implementation of IÖB challenges as an innovative market exploration tool, providing legal and/or technical expertise for the preparation of documents for a planned tender (Module Prepare), as well as the execution of innovative procurements (Module Transfer).

This creates incentives for increased innovation demand by the public sector, particularly for projects with positive contributions to:

• Environmental and climate protection, as well as the conservation of natural resources (e.g., in the fields of mobility, energy, circular economy, etc.), and
• The digitization of the public sector (e.g., to increase efficiency, support environmental policy goals, strengthen sustainability and regional economic cycles, improve services for citizens, etc.).
