This report is a current snapshot of our ongoing work at e.Republic Labs.
Its aim is to help existing companies, startups, investors and government
agencies better understand the emerging GovTech market.
e.Republic Labs, through its parent company, has been tracking digital technology in the
public sector since 1987. In the last several years, developments like mobile platforms,
ubiquitous connectivity, cloud/SaaS services and data analytics have combined with other

to civic tech to the Internet of Things, tech and market changes have opened opportunities
for a new class of companies and products focused on the $175 billion U.S. government
technology industry.

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.

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.
Administration
Serves as the official record layer or
ledger of government permissions, data
and money in government. Category
includes systems that automate financial,
personnel, case, asset, traffic, construction
and land management records.
Service Delivery
Serves as the transaction layer
of government by enabling the
processing of transactions, payments
and logistics by public employees
or citizens/businesses to fullfill
public service requests and service
delivery. Category would include
systems that automate licensing,
payments and business intelligence
of records.

and citizens to have greater insights into
public financial data through the use of
online dashboards and reporting tools.
Pondera is a fraud-detection-as-a-
service system that analyzes public
benefit transactions (e.g., Medicare) and
predicts the likelihood of fraud.
Accela offers a civic cloud that
connects multiple systems of records
(ERP, work orders, etc.) to enable more
efficient and effective operations.
Streetline uses a series
of Internet-connected sensors
to make parking more efficient
and predictable.
