Our take
Gray is a digital services company looking to better American government protocols and products with innovation. Using software development, DevOps and human-centred design Gray wants to make a huge impact on how the government can better serve its people.
The company’s key services range from Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to Space Technologies. Having only founded in 2020 the company already boasts several partnerships with different sectors within the government, including Homeland Security, and 6 case studies of its work to date. One of these is work with Hala Systems where Gray supported the building of a sensory network that warned civilians about the bombings in Syria.
The work Gray is pursuing is driven for government use and that is what sets it apart from competitors in its market. The passion to help do good with the plethora of technology and data we can access today is admirable and we’re excited to see what else the company will be a part of.
