Contributors
The Value-Based Procurement Community of Practice (VBP CoP) brings together procurement organizations, procurers, the Medical Technology industry and their leadership and engages with health authorities and other stakeholders with a common interest in value-based procurement. The VBP CoP founding partners are EHPPA, MedTech Europe and BCG. For more information on the VBP CoP, please contact Hans Bax.
The objective of the VBP CoP is to foster a change in practice and implement value-based procurement both in the public and private healthcare sectors. This will bring the most economically advantageous solution into healthcare, taking into account the value offered to patients, to the care givers, the providers and potentially, to society.
The VBP conference is supported by the revenues generated by the event and, if needed, by a financial contribution of the MEAT Value-Based Procurement initiative industry members and from MedTech Europe itself.
The VBP Conference is also made possible thanks to the supporting partners, who endorsed the program and are advocating the event within their European or International Networks and projects. The supporting partners are free from any financial contribution.
The Value-Based Procurement Community of Practice thanks all contributors, speakers and active participants and welcomes all the further in-kind support alongside the conference.
