From January 27-28, 2026, partners of the CEDAR project gathered in Turin for a two-day meeting hosted by the project’s technical coordinator, Engineering.

CEDAR aims to strengthen transparency and accountability in public procurement by leveraging European common data spaces, big data analytics, and artificial intelligence.

ICS is leading the Slovenian pilot, which focuses on improving the management of low-value tenders in the healthcare sector. The pilot is being developed in collaboration with the Celje General Hospital, the Ministries of Interior, Digital Transformation, and Health, as well as our local technical partner, SNEP.

Highlights of the Turin meeting included a hands-on workshop to refine pilot scenarios and a focused discussion on the deployment of CEDAR tools. The insights gathered during the meeting will guide the final phase of the project, during which all developed tools will validated by end users.
