5 Munich govtech startups digitizing the state

Govradar offers a procurement platform for the public sector designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of tender documents and the collection of offers for public clients. The AI-powered software-as-a-service solution enables the creation of tender documents without requiring public administration and municipal employees to manually create them in complex processes. The solution from this govtech startup also aims to ensure that service descriptions are legally compliant, clear, and unambiguous, enabling potential suppliers to submit precisely tailored offers. Additionally, an AI-powered assistant helps optimize procurement. Last year, Govradar secured seed funding of one million euros. (Image: Govradar)

Govshare is a solution platform for municipal climate protection. It centralizes practical examples of successful climate protection measures at the municipal level. This enables municipalities and their municipal utilities like city works and street cleaning services to find viable solutions without having to start from scratch themselves. Additionally, commercial solution providers, as well as nonprofit organizations and social enterprises, can be listed on the govtech startup’s platform. In developing the platform, Govshare receives feedback and support from Bad Kissingen district, city administrations in Geretsried, Saarbrücken, Esslingen, and Schwäbisch Hall, as well as the city of Munich.

Convaise helps companies, organizations, and public administration transition their communication with customers and citizens to a chat-based system. Instead of using forms or phone calls, Convaise enables even complex processes to be handled through an AI-powered messenger. To accomplish this, the startup built the no-code Conversational Agent Builder “Convaise Studio,” which allows its customers to design and develop their customer experiences. Municipalities and cities can transform their processes into self-service offerings. Citizens are then guided through bureaucratic processes by a digital assistant and receive information for further processing. (Image: Convaise)

Locaboo offers cities and municipalities a more efficient way to manage and book public spaces, sports facilities, and event venues through its cloud-based solution. The govtech startup developed software that allows municipalities to rent out facilities directly through their websites. The software optimizes and analyzes utilization and manages the entire rental process. This aims to increase efficiency and sustainability of resource use while supporting the data foundation for future urban development. Just days ago, Locaboo also announced the completion of its seed funding round of 1.2 million euros. (Image: Locaboo)

Silberfluss aims to help public administration and the judiciary process procedures faster and more citizen-centric. To achieve this, the startup developed an automation platform that captures and categorizes facts, automatically creates documents, and sends documents to involved parties. The solution, originally developed for law firms where it is already in use, is currently being tested in a pilot project within public administration. (Image: Silberfluss)
