Its customers include OpenClassrooms, Citron, Theodo, and Carrefour. These initial clients have also become investors in the platform.
Today, Tengo’s first clients have already been able to detect and secure more than €35 million in public contracts.
With this funding, Tengo plans to accelerate the integration of AI into its product to make the public tender market more accessible to all businesses. It will enhance its AI-powered response assistance features, which several clients are already testing.
