Our take
Accela is a govtech company providing digital government services to more than 300M citizens worldwide. Its strong track record includes the 2021 launch of SolarPP+, a permitting platform for solar energy projects, which earned recognition from Fast Company as a World Changing Idea, highlighting the effectiveness of tech partnerships in addressing critical challenges.
Recent innovations, such as the revamped Rapid Damage Assessment tool introduced in 2023, enable local officials to respond quickly to disasters by capturing vital on-the-ground data. Alongside this, Accela reported a remarkable 68% year-over-year growth and announced new state funding for communities utilizing its SolarAPP+, improving permitting efficiency and resource management.
It also recently acquired OpenCounter, to enhance its capabilities and provide intuitive solutions that simplify the licensing process for residents and businesses. By continually adapting to the evolving needs of local governments, Accela has solidified its position as a vital tool in modern governance.
