Governments have had a harder time adapting to new technologies than businesses have. There are many ways that the public sector can improve the way it serves its citizens by using newer technologies and models. Smart city implementation is no longer a myth with cities like NEOM spending more than $1 trillion dollar is practical proof of traction. However what about cities that lack pockets and tight budgets implement smart city services? Trac is on a mission to change the way smart cities are defined by offering the CITY AS A SERVICE PLATFORM. We are the first to develop and deploy a plug-n-play microservice model of core municipal services through digital platforms that are data-driven and accessible via personal devices. Through this, we want to dissolve traditional tensions between residents and cities and improve sustainable-driven urban quality of life with the low-cost model.

Autoenhance is the AI platform behind professional-grade real estate photography for thousands of agencies and photographers across the UK, US, and Europe. We process millions of images a month, automating the editing work that used to take hours per property: HDR merging, sky replacement, perspective correction, window pulling, and more. Our customers include some of the largest names in the industry in the US, Europe and UK. Six years in, we're a lean, AI-first team building the infrastructure that powers real estate visuals globally, and we're hiring people who want real ownership over systems that ship to production every day.

At Appicenter, we design and deploy production-grade Agentic AI workflows on AWS that automate complex, document-heavy business processes. Modern organizations handle a constant flow of contracts, compliance documents, and vendor agreements — most of which are still reviewed manually, leading to delays, inconsistencies, and operational bottlenecks. We solve this by building event-driven AI systems that go beyond simple document analysis. Our approach combines: Multi-agent AI systems AWS-native architecture (S3, Lambda, Step Functions) Deterministic decision workflows Built-in guardrails and auditability Instead of just summarizing documents, our systems: Analyze risk and compliance Detect missing or non-standard clauses Generate structured outputs Route decisions automatically (approve, review, escalate) This transforms document handling into a reliable, scalable workflow, where AI agents perform analysis and the system enforces decisions.

Cocoon is a home intelligence and service platform designed to help home-related protection parties, such as insurance, mortgage and real estate, and, in particular, homeowners, prevent avoidable losses and proactively care for the home. Today, parties such as insurers have access to extensive property data, but often lack a scalable way to translate that intelligence into sustained homeowner action. At the same time, homeowners want to maintain and protect their homes but face a fragmented, reactive process for understanding risks, prioritizing needs, and finding trusted service professionals. Cocoon closes this gap by connecting property intelligence, homeowner engagement, and service fulfillment in one closed-loop platform. Through self-inspections, proprietary applications, and third-party report ingestion, Cocoon develops a digital profile of the home and generates personalized risk insights, maintenance recommendations, and prioritized actions. Homeowners can then request service through Cocoon’s vetted professional network. Cocoon administers the work, validates completion, and updates the home’s digital risk profile to support ongoing prevention. Insurance carriers, for example, can use Cocoon to improve property visibility, engage policyholders in loss-prevention activities, and measure completed risk-mitigation outcomes. Homeowners receive a simpler, more proactive way to maintain and protect their homes, reducing time, cost, and stress. Cocoon’s vision is to shift residential property risk management from a primarily reactive model to one centered on predicting, preventing, and resolving risks before they become costly losses.
