## About this market
The roster here is small, and that is the honest consequence of the bar: at least two documented, named engagements with government bodies or public institutions each. Public-sector AI work is hard to publish—procurement rules, political sensitivity and long approval chains keep most of it invisible—so a documented public engagement carries more evidential weight than almost any commercial logo.

The documented work here is unusually concrete. Dr. Mark Wernsdorfer's AMPEL system runs clinical decision support across more than 1,500 beds at University Hospital Leipzig. Birds on Mars built irrigation forecasting for Berlin's street trees with the Federal Environment Ministry and CityLAB, and object digitalization for the Museum für Naturkunde. Hybrid Heroes delivered the rbb24 news app for the Berlin-Brandenburg public broadcaster and an e-mental-health platform with Freie Universität Berlin. DataNorth's programs run through Dutch public institutions, from the association of municipal social-services directors to Groningen Seaports.

Public buyers should read this list differently from the commercial pages. Ask how the agency handled the tender and what documentation it produced for the record, because an agency that has survived public procurement once is materially cheaper to work with the second time. And ask early about the EU AI Act: public-sector deployments sit disproportionately in its high-risk categories, and the difference between a partner who has already documented a system for review and one who has not shows up at exactly the wrong moment.

## Questions buyers ask

### What counts as a public-sector client on this page?
Government bodies and public institutions only: ministries, municipalities, public universities and hospitals, public broadcasters. State-owned commercial operators classify as B2B or consumer by their engagement, not here. Every listed agency evidences at least two documented, named public-sector clients, with source URLs stored per client, and borderline cases classify away from this page rather than onto it.

### Why are only four agencies listed?
Because the evidence bar does not bend for a thin market. Public-sector AI work is systematically underpublished—procurement rules and political sensitivity keep most engagements out of case studies—so many agencies that genuinely serve public clients cannot document it. We list what is verifiable rather than padding the page, and the roster grows as agencies publish.

### Does the EU AI Act change public-sector AI procurement?
Materially. Public-sector deployments sit disproportionately in the Act's high-risk categories—essential services, law enforcement adjacency, decisions affecting citizens' access—which brings documentation, human-oversight and transparency duties into scope. Ask candidates what they have already documented for a conformity or model review; an agency answering with artifacts rather than architecture diagrams has done the work before.
