Demand Acceleration is a framework for how the public sector can drive innovation and transformation through public procurement as a tool, by increasing the demand for sustainable solutions.
Demand Acceleration Community is an open learning network for public sector stakeholders and intermediaries interested in jointly exploring how public procurement can drive innovation and transformation. We meet every third Friday morning to discuss and exchange experiences, using the Demand Acceleration framework as a foundation.
Our community is characterized by openness, and we believe in balancing competition and collaboration. We share useful materials, such as presentations, process documents, and procurement templates, with each other, and materials created by members of the community are generally licensed under Creative Commons.
To stimulate innovation and transformation, it is not enough to invest in new technology, i.e., increasing supply. For new technology to be adopted and create value, there must also be an increase in demand for new sustainable solutions across society. Innovation is not only limited by supply but also by demand.
Demand Acceleration is a framework for how the public sector can drive innovation and transformation through public procurement as a tool, by increasing the demand for sustainable solutions.
Public procurement in Sweden alone amounts to over 800 billion SEK annually. If just one percent of that could be used to drive innovation and transformation, it would be more than double the entire current budget of Vinnova.
Demand Acceleration is a framework that consists of four core values and four guiding principles.
Here you will find our handbooks, which provide a more in-depth explanation of how the framework can be applied in practice. Additionally, there is a shorter version that serves as a foundation for understanding Demand Acceleration from a policy perspective.
