Minerva transforms how public procurement opportunities are discovered by automating tender sourcing, analysis and documentation, making public contracts faster and more accessible to companies of all sizes.

Public procurement makes up 20% of the EU’s GDP yet remains one of its least digitised markets. Minerva enables organisations to find the right opportunities and navigate the complex public procurement process more efficiently and strategically with artificial intelligence. Its platform streamlines every stage of the tender lifecycle by automating repetitive tasks and centralising information, removing challenges such as scattered data, lengthy documentation and poor visibility into relevant tenders.

As Dups puts it, for every rule there is an exception, and for every exception there is something to learn.

When we met Jan Goetz, Professor Mikko Möttönen and the rest of the IQM founding team in late 2018, we knew we were seeing something rare. The science was hard to grasp, even for my colleague Patrik Backman, who had studied physics and some quantum theory, but the ambition was unmistakable.
