Civiciti

The company originated from OpenSeneca, a venture created through the partnership of Scytl, a firm with deep expertise in electronic voting and election modernization, and Telefónica Open Future_. This initiative was designed to commercialize Scytl's non-election e-democracy business, leveraging its established technology, patents, and client base. Civiciti is built upon Scytl's more than 17 years of experience in electoral processes, incorporating patented e-voting technology to ensure secure and reliable participation.

The business operates in the GovTech and B2B media and information services markets, generating revenue through its scalable and customizable platform. It provides a secure, two-way channel for communication, deliberation, and decision-making. Clients, primarily government bodies, can utilize the platform for a range of activities including participatory budgeting, public consultations, and secure referendums. The platform enables these organizations to gather feedback, conduct binding voting processes, and make data-driven decisions, thereby aiming to increase transparency and rebuild trust between institutions and the populace.

Key features of the Civiciti platform include tools for surveys, debate forums, and secure electronic voting, all designed to be user-friendly for both administrators and participants. The system verifies that participants are real individuals, preventing manipulation by bots or trolls. Having initially focused on Spanish municipalities, the company has expanded its reach to clients in Latin America and has also adapted its services for universities and private corporations for internal decision-making processes, such as shareholder meetings.
