Startup Lounge #119 – AI Meets Public Procurement: With Marko Jeftic (Vergabepilot.ai)
Our guest speaker will be Marko Jeftic, Co-Founder of Vergabepilot.ai, an AI-powered platform that helps businesses—particularly small and medium-sized enterprises—identify relevant public tenders across Germany. Instead of manually searching countless procurement portals, companies benefit from smart automation, actionable insights, and accelerated access to new business opportunities.
During the session, Marko will share his entrepreneurial journey and talk about building a DeepTech product in the GovTech space. He will also explore how artificial intelligence can open up public markets for companies that previously struggled to access them.
After the talk, there will be room for questions, networking, and informal exchange over complimentary drinks.
The event is open to everyone—founders, students, innovators, and anyone interested in startups, technology, and public sector innovation.
This Startup Lounge is held in cooperation with DeepTechHub and is hosted by the Mannheim Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation (MCEI), TransforMA, the University of Mannheim, and Mannheim University of Applied Sciences.
