GovTech, civic technology, public-sector service delivery and municipal innovation

Build technology that improves public-service delivery.

A sector pathway for civic technology, municipal innovation and public-sector software products.

Studio focus

GovTech Studio

GovTech Studio helps civic and public-sector technology ventures become procurement-ready, pilot-ready and useful to municipalities, departments, state entities and development partners.

Strategic goal

Move GovTech founders from civic idea to operational prototype, municipal pilot, public procurement readiness and impact reporting.

Outcome targets

Operational prototypes, municipal pilots, public-sector evidence packs, procurement readiness and service-delivery impact metrics.

Every Sector Studio follows the same Sandbox Africa operating model so founders know what to expect, while each program adapts the support to its sector.
