For Governments

Connect what technology is actually doing to the mandates you are accountable for.

Where things get stuck

Policy and procurement decisions get made under real uncertainty, usually with evidence scattered across agencies that do not share a format.

These are the three blockers that come up in almost every conversation we have with governments.

  • Pattern 01

    There is no continuous early warning tied to actual public mandates, only periodic studies.

  • Pattern 02

    Procurement and compliance rules slow experimentation, and make it hard to justify prioritizing one technology over another.

  • Pattern 03

    Agencies coordinate badly when each one uses different taxonomies, evidence standards, and assumptions.

What you get

What governments typically end up with.
  • Result 01

    Tie emerging technology directly to policy outcomes, regulatory pathways, and public value.

  • Result 02

    Support procurement and investment decisions with evidence that survives an audit.

  • Result 03

    Put agencies on one shared baseline, aligned to NDC, SDG, and national strategy commitments.

Build capability

We also build capacity. Build Sessions have taken non-technical public-sector teams, including at the City of Amsterdam, from idea to working prototype in a single day.

Where to start

How governments usually work with us.

Governments usually start with Bespoke Projects, €15,000 to €50,000 per project.

Bespoke ProjectsSee our public sector work

Our recommended public-sector path starts with one Session, so there is something real to judge before a procurement decision. Start with a Signals Session.

Relevant use cases

The situations governments bring us most often, with the client work behind each one.

Policy Impact Assessment

Government bodies and NGOs use the platform to assess how emerging technologies impact specific goals (e.g. NDCs, SDGs), so the evidence is there when a decision has to be justified.

Charting the Energy Transition

In partnership with IEEE, we turned the PES Technical Roadmap into a comparative foresight tool their teams use internally, to weigh decisions about the energy transition toward net zero by 2050.

Scanning the Green Transition in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Foresight radars for UNDP's five-year Green Transition programme in Bosnia and Herzegovina, surfacing citation-backed signals of change across decarbonisation, circularity and environmental justice to feed directly into portfolio reviews and programming decisions.
