On Friday 20 October, the European Commission, through its GovTech Connect programme, bestowed ASIMOB with the award for the best startup in Southern Europe. The competition included companies from Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece, and Serbia, competing in categories such as inclusive and accessible services, transparent and open government, and community participation and collaboration.

The event was held at the School of Civil Engineering of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, serving as a closing to the five weeks of work in which 24 entities from northern and southern Europe shared activities to discuss market dynamics of GovTech solutions, the resources available at European level for the evolution of solutions aimed at Public Administrations, the investment dynamics in our sector and the difficulties to be solved in a GovTech market.

The GovTech Connect project is a project funded by the European Commission to promote the digitalisation of the public sector through the use of an innovative European GovTech platform. The project is led by Intellera Consulting, together with its partners Public.io, Lisbon Council and Politecnico di Milano, with the aim of supporting public administrations in the adoption of profitable and flexible digital solutions.
