About this list
The public-sector work documented here includes a governed use-case portfolio with its arithmetic published. Merantix Momentum has run the AI innovation and governance process for Hamburg's InnoTecHH fund since 2022: 120-plus use cases evaluated in 2023, 19 in development, 8 scaled. Its Federal Chancellery work drafted citizen-inquiry replies on a locally hosted Mixtral 8x7B and ended as a proof of concept, and its DZSF rail noise-barrier detection shipped as an open-source plugin. Netcompany's systems run at national scale on platforms it owns: DSB's per-line delay models orchestrated by PULSE predict arrival within three minutes at 95 percent accuracy, and the European Commission's FERMI disinformation tool ran three pilots on live data, while its e-EFKA program across roughly 350 Greek social-security branches is rules-driven automation, not AI. Babel was awarded the governance and monitoring office of the Andalusia AI Center in November 2025. Kruso's Billund Municipality search is Raffle.ai's product, and ELCA Informatik's Viacar road-traffic modernization describes no AI technique.
Sort on hosting and ownership when the contract ends. The Chancellery model was hosted locally and the DZSF plugin is open source; the curator notes Netcompany's delivery runs on PULSE, EASLEY AI and PERSEUS, so ask what moving off them would owe. Ask Babel who would staff the Andalusia office, since the award is too recent to carry a record and the practice sits inside a group of several thousand. Ask Kruso and ELCA Informatik for a public AI case with a figure; the Billund and Viacar write-ups publish none.

Expert Insight
Why Public Sector experience matters
Procurement fluency—Tender rules, framework agreements, and evaluation criteria shape what can be bought and how. Specialists write compliant bids and structure engagements to fit thresholds; agencies new to public buying lose months learning the process on your calendar
AI Act depth where it bites hardest—Many public-sector uses sit in the EU AI Act's high-risk tier, with risk-management, logging, human-oversight, and registration duties. Specialists deliver the documentation as a work product, not a promise
Explainability as an acceptance criterion—Automated decisions touching citizens must be explainable to the citizen, the caseworker, and eventually an auditor. Specialists design plain-language explanation into the system; retrofitting it after a complaint is the expensive version
Accountability-grade delivery—Public projects end up in audit reports. Specialists document decisions, data sources, and model changes to the standard an oversight body applies, and they design human handoff into every citizen-facing flow rather than treating it as a failure state
Frequently asked questions
9 agencies in our directory combine verified AI transformation client evidence with documented Public Sector work. The current top-ranked are Merantix Momentum, Babel, Version 1 — ordered by depth of documented client evidence, then our editorial scoring (portfolio quality, credibility, completeness); placement is never paid.
Every agency here documents AI transformation work on its own site or in a published case study, describing the engagement structure rather than a service-list claim. We never infer the model from portfolio tone, so this list only contains agencies that operate AI transformation engagements deliberately.
