Public Procurement Service, Pilot Purchase of Biohealth Innovative Products and Matching with Demand Institutions

On the 11th, the Public Procurement Service announced that it had selected pilot purchase targets and pilot usage institutions for innovative products in the bio-health sector and made them public on the Innovation Market.

The pilot purchase targets include 59 innovative products across 7 categories in the bio-health field, and the institutions designated for pilot use number 113.

The Public Procurement Service selected the pilot purchase products and matched the usage institutions with a focus on the government's 'Bio-Health New Market Creation Strategy' and export support.

According to the Public Procurement Service, five selected innovative products were matched with 17 institutions, mainly large national medical institutions such as Seoul National University Hospital, and two products were confirmed for pilot use by 11 overseas government agencies in 7 countries. The overseas government agencies were chosen in collaboration with the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) to expand the overseas advancement of innovative products.

Kim Yoon-sang, Administrator of the Public Procurement Service, said, “We hope that the pilot purchase of innovative products will provide an opportunity for the domestic bio-health industry to grow as a second semiconductor and secure a leading position in the future global market.” He added, “The Public Procurement Service will prioritize public procurement policies focusing on securing new growth engines and supporting exports.”
