Our take
By its very nature, local government bodies and civil councils collate a lot of data but don’t always have the resources or the technology to manage it efficiently. Polyteia pitches European governments with a digital platform that brings together and analyses the data of constituents, thus saving time and money for civil servants.
Whilst data management platforms are nothing new, Polyteia’s product is flexible and has a freedom to it that’s attractive enough to governments and city councils that it raised 3 rounds of funding between 2019 and 2023. Its bottom layer allows users to configure their own input masks, thus helping them focus in on the specific data types they need rather than wholesale, broader gathering. In a time of inefficient governance and appointment backlogs, Polyteia’s platform could help solve these problems as well as a skilled worker shortage all across Europe.
With more than 80 customers in Germany alone, Polyteia plans to use its March 2023 funding to build a no-code platform for government employees and expand its customer net. Having boosted its sales fivefold between 2021 and 2022, Polyteia is on a positive path.
