The European Public Sector Award (EPSA) is a European-wide scheme which rewards projects that address relevant public challenges and are crucial drivers for innovation and change in the way public actors operate in the 21st century. The EPSA is a unique platform in Europe as well as a powerful source of best practices (‘case-maker’) from Europe’s public sectors. It responds to two key challenges for innovation in the public sector. The first challenge is how to provide incentives to policy makers and other officials to make the effort and upfront investment and to accept the risk inherent in innovation. The second key challenge is how to identify, scale up and spread successful innovation.
