Representing Civic Tech at the European scale

We are civictech companies representing the diversity of the sector. We help institutions to empower citizens and respond to the crisis of democracy.

Structuring the Civic Tech sector

ACTE members and partners represent the diversity of the civictech sector. 

As civitech profesionnals, we firmly believe that civic engagment in all forms must be encouraged.

Our civictech platforms designed for institutions, civil society actors and active citizens directly address this challenge :  

    • By developing citizen participation
    • By supporting activism 
    • By creating innovative citizen-centric public services

    Acte's members and partners are independent of any political or economic movements.

    The voice of Civic Tech in the EU

    Organizations developing civic and citizen-oriented technological solutions, commonly known as civic tech, now constitute a fully-fledged economic sector.

    The civic tech platforms grow quickly but they do not have collective representation. 

    Since December 2019, ACTE aims to be the sector’s privileged interlocutor of public authorities and stakeholders of the sector at the European level.
