The Senate Chancellery's GovTecHH project is Hamburg's first point of contact for startups that wish to collaborate with the administration. ‘Government technology’ (short ‘gov tech’) is a cipher for digital technologies and innovative solutions with emphasis on the public sector. It allows Hamburg to increase its cooperation with startups.

CEO of SUMM AI GmbH
“GovTecHH was the ideal "foot in the door" for us as a young tech startup to gain our first major client in the public sector. The quick referral to a user with real interest in our solution and the effective communication all around was particularly cool. That enabled our AI-based plain language tool to be deployed for hamburg.de in record time!”
