Summary/Abstract: In the European and Italian policy contexts, the evolution of PPPs instruments was characterized firstly by the interest for the anti-cyclical aspects, and afterwards for the high innovation potential these tools can bring to the public procurement market. Italian Regions are in charge of many territorial development policies; not only are they policy owners, but also a key factor for the success of any development strategy. Emilia-Romagna Region presents a local policy for the promotion of PPP tools in the regional context; moreover, the Region published in 2013 a case study, with an analysis of the main PPP aspects which can bring positive impacts to the regional economy. The study concludes that PPPs can become a real value for money for a regional authority, mostly when a PPP is operating in a regional strategic framework and in a coherent regional system. In that case, PPP is an instrument to enhance the quality in the public-private relationship, not only regarding the project’s outputs, but also regarding the possible outcomes for the economy and the social inclusion. Furthermore, in a solid regional policy context, public and private partner can build/create added value for all, making sure that the right conditions for success are put in place, and that the PPP instrument is the best suitable for the specific territorial need it’s aimed at.
