## About this market
Public institutions commission AI systems that outlive their vendors' contracts, so development here is judged on what remains: documentation, operability and a system the institution can defend in public. The firms named below have documented public work. Dr. Mark Wernsdorfer's AMPEL runs clinical decision support across 1,500-plus beds at a university hospital. Birds on Mars delivered irrigation forecasting for Berlin's street trees with the Federal Environment Ministry and digitalization for the Museum für Naturkunde. dida's public-sector search includes Deutscher Wetterdienst, wegewerk ships AI features into civil-society platforms with its model providers published, DataNorth builds for Dutch municipal institutions, and Faculty and ML6 bring validation and governance depth.

Ask development candidates for the handover package from a past public engagement: model documentation, evaluation records, runbooks, and what the institution could operate alone afterward. The EU AI Act turns that package from good practice into obligation for high-risk deployments—and this roster skews toward firms that were producing it before it was required.
