Our new partnership with StepStone will enable us to set the standard for this important mission through investment in technology, people, and most of all – in our partners,” said Eyal Feder-Levy, CEO, Zencity. “AI-powered capabilities, like the one we’re launching today, put best-in-class technology in the hands of local government leaders that will accelerate that goal, by lowering barriers to seeking community input, and more easily making sense of data we will drive outcomes for the communities that our government partners serve.”
