Government Technology has published its annual “GovTech 100”—an exclusive list of the top 100 tech companies that sell to state and local governments as their primary customers. These companies are on the front line making government work more efficiently. They are innovative, ahead of the curve and making a difference in the way citizens interact with government.

The list is editorial-driven and shaped by a variety of key market experts, government employees, investors and the Government Technology editorial team.

Among the companies new to the list for 2023 are:

  • Velosimo: This integration software company believes our experiences with government agencies should be as easy to use as retail sites, with user-friendly, no-code connectors built specifically for government services. (Think Zapier for government.)
  • Bludot: This female-founded and led software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform consolidates business data into one source and allows economic development teams to easily engage and support their businesses. It’s become the hyperlocal CRM for economic development officials.
