Big Buyers for Climate and Environment is an European Commission initiative designed to help drive market demand for innovative and sustainable products and services in Europe. The four active working groups on zero-emission construction sites, Circular Construction, Heavy-Duty Electric Vehicles and Digital solutions in the Healthcare sector have been gathering together to find common demand and jointly approaching the market for innovative and sustainable solutions to their challenges for almost a year now.

Curious to find out about their lessons learned so far? The Observer Group webinar will give the opportunity to gain a closer look into their work.
