## About this market
The Zurich agencies on this page carry documented public-sector work, and Swiss public AI splits neatly between federal, cantonal and institutional buyers. Adnovum is the most directly governmental: the «Berna» voicebot handles claim reporting for Gebäudeversicherung Bern, a public institution insuring every building in the canton, at up to 2,700 calls a day with Swiss German transcription, and it built a second voicebot for the Aargau road traffic office. Visium automated borehole data extraction for swisstopo, the federal office of topography. Squirro's institutional roster includes the European Central Bank, and Zühlke's public work reaches the NHS and National Grid ESO outside Switzerland.

Swiss public procurement rewards suppliers who understand the cantonal layer, because that is where most operational systems are actually bought. Ask which level of government each engagement served and how it was awarded. Ask too about language: Berna currently handles German and Swiss German dialect with French listed as future work, and in a multilingual administration that constraint decides which departments can use a system at all.

## Questions buyers ask

### How is public-sector experience verified on this page?

Logo walls without published evidence carry no weight, which is what separates this list from self-declared directories.
