Technology and social trends are reshaping the landscape of government.

This is a uniquely disruptive moment in the evolution of technology, offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity for governments both small and large to harness powerful new tools that can dramatically improve public sector outcomes.

Government may not be the natural place you would look to for emerging market opportunities; however, new forces are challenging the way government does business and providing opportunities for companies.

The convergence of technology and social trends is reshaping the government market.

There is a new class of companies and products targeting government as a primary market segment. Equally disruptive, increasing investments from venture capital firms such as Andreessen Horowitz, are accelerating the pace of change by injecting capital into a growing cohort of GovTech companies.


GovTech companies are firms that have state, local and federal government as their primary market focus and derive the majority of their revenues from the public sector. GovTech companies can be categorized among four domains:

What is a GovTech company?

(1) Administration

Smart Infrastructure Serves as the infrastructure layer of government by enabling operational capacity of physical assets and systems (e.g., facilities, roads and utilities) through digital controls, sensors, self-monitoring predictive analytics and security. Exemplified by the Internet of Everything, category includes smart grid, smart meter, and the cloud.

Civic Tech Serves as the engagement layer of government by supporting citizen self-services and engagement, using aggregated reporting, open data and crowdsourcing to enable citizens to digitally connect with government.
