Our take
Although there is a clear correlation between technological innovation and the effectiveness of businesses in serving their clients, the government as a whole has so far failed to adopt the same technologies to serve its citizens. Authorium, formerly City Innovate, is a company facilitating the faster procurement of government-essential technologies at the federal, state and local levels, to help these institutions better serve the communities they are responsible for.
Authorium's no-code platform supplies visibility across digitisation projects and streamlines the acquisition process from research to contracts and grants. By reducing the time taken to find and implement new technologies, governments using the company's platform can catch up with innovative trends and use technology to the advantage of their residents. With strong funds at its back, Authorium is moving ahead with advancing its platform and rolling out its new AuthorAI product, growing its team to make technology a force for social good.
