The dream of reinventing decision.

GovHorizon was born from the belief that better decisions today build stronger, more resilient communities tomorrow.

Built for Purpose

We're an AI-powered governance and policy intelligence platform designed to help organizations navigate complexity with confidence. From financial institutions tracking regulatory changes, to government agencies managing public services we transform fragmented data into clear, actionable insights.

Built on ethical, human-centered design principles and fully compliant with the EU AI Act, our platform serves diverse sectors while maintaining the highest standards of accountability and data protection.

Our Story

From Challenge to Solution

The gap we discovered

Our founding team combined different backgrounds from strategy, innovation, and digital transformation across private and sectors. In business, we learned the power of data-driven decisions. In government, we saw a different reality—strategic planning often struggled to anticipate disruptions or adapt to rapid change.
At the same time, from a GovTech perspective, the potential to use public data for better decisions could be deeply explored.

The turning point

Working in the portuguese financial sector challenges, and also in the public side, including Portugal's flagship BUPi land registry platform and national digital justice reforms, we experienced the need firsthand: leaders in both sectors faced challenges that called for tools that could transform complex information into strategic advantage. And AI could be an advantage factor.

Building GovHorizon

We recognized that today's biggest challenges—climate change, demographic shifts, geopolitical challenges, regulatory complexity—can't be solved with reactive, siloed approaches. GovHorizon uses proven methodologies from organizations like the OECD and UN with cutting-edge technology, making strategic foresight accessible to every organization ready to lead with vision.

Our Mission

To make strategic foresight and evidence-based governance accessible to every organization that wants to anticipate challenges, strengthen resilience, and create lasting positive impact. We believe good governance shouldn't be limited by resources or complexity. Every community deserves access to tools that help them build stronger, more sustainable futures.

Where We're Heading

We're building toward a future where strategic decision-making is the standard, not the exception. Where policy teams focus on understanding what's coming next instead of managing information overload. Where organizations use scenario planning to assess long-term impacts.
Our goal is to become Europe's leading platform for governance intelligence—supporting not just individual organizations, but networks of institutions working together on the complex challenges that shape our shared future.
