We're solving one of the biggest inefficiencies in modern democracy: The €2,4 trillion public procurement market trapped in bureaucracy.

Every year, Europe's public sector spends over €2,4 trillion on the goods and services that keep our societies running - from infrastructure to healthcare to education. But this massive market is broken. The best companies can't compete because they're drowning in paperwork. Innovation gets locked out by red tape. And taxpayers foot the bill for a system that rewards process over merit.

What We Are Building

Forgent AI builds domain-specific AI agents that help companies win and deliver public sector contracts. Our technology automates the most time-consuming, error-prone parts of the process - so teams can focus on execution, not paperwork.

This is hard, important work. Public procurement is one of the most complex regulatory environments in the world and we're already winning. In under 1 year, we've:

• Built products that save users >80% of their time
• Onboarded 40+ organisations as beta users, including multiple large enterprises
• Parsed 100k+ pages of public tenders
• Proven our technology is 10x better than anything else in the market

And we're just getting started.
