S&P 500 dropped 7% year-to-date

Why government contracts are your best bet during a global recession

Global economic turbulence

The global economy is entering stormy waters. Goldman Sachs recently raised the probability of a U.S. recession to 35%, citing mounting economic pressures. The stock market has suffered its sharpest decline in years — Thursday marked the worst day since the onset of Covid in 2020.

The S&P 500 is down 7% year-to-date, reflecting growing uncertainty and market instability. Trade tensions and tariff wars are adding fuel to the fire, casting a long shadow over global economic prospects.

Market diversification is crucial

In uncertain times, diversification becomes essential for building resilience. While the private sector often shrinks during downturns, the public sector remains stable and reliable.

Governments have the ability to print money and tend to maintain — or even increase — public spending during economic crises. This makes public procurement a consistent and dependable source of business opportunities.

Hermix: win more public contracts

Hermix helps companies win public contracts with tender monitoring, analysis, and market intelligence based on AI.

We bring B2G – Business-to-government to the 21st century:

  • Tender monitoring, email notifications, smart market watch.
  • Automated tender summaries and proposal generation with LLM.
  • Opportunity qualification: budgets, competition, gaps.
  • Deep market intelligence: where are the money, who buys & sells, what, when, where, how.

With Hermix, entering the public procurement market becomes easy and efficient. In times of uncertainty, government contracts can provide the steady growth your business needs.

Hermix at WAICF: Transforming public procurement with AI

World AI Cannes Festival 13-15 February 2025

Smiles and excitement as we took the stage for the first time at the WAICF – World AI Cannes Festival. This amazing event brings together AI experts and industry leaders to explore how AI is shaping our future.

We disrupt public procurement

The speech and discussions of Stefan Morcov, CEO of Hermix, at the WAICF conference in Cannes on February 13, 2025

We are Hermix: a technology platform that helps companies win public contracts. We analyze huge amounts of data to generate leads, qualify tenders, automate bids, and generate proposals.

We use Machine Learning to clean up data, and GPT models to analyze specifications and support bids.

We support the sales teams for companies like Capgemini, Fujitsu, Indra, OTE, Cancom, Wipro, Aricoma, Euroforce, and Technopolis.

We stand at the intersection of great opportunities. Not risks, not challenges, but immense potential. This is the convergence of vast computing power, advanced algorithms, and cutting-edge technology, particularly in big data science and artificial intelligence. These innovations meet a sector that remains inefficient, formal, heavy, and bureaucratic – yet accounts for 14% of GDP. 2 trillion per year.

This is not just a challenge. It is an extraordinary opportunity. The impact is overall, affecting quality, efficiency, and cost.

It is also a great opportunity for us at Hermix. What we are building is both new and unique, offering a significant chance to disrupt public sector procurement and sales.

Impact for public buyers and policy

The speech and discussions of Stefan Morcov, CEO of Hermix, at the WAICF conference in Cannes on February 13, 2025

The impact for public buyers and policy includes: efficiency, transparency, competition, and delivery quality. This impact is similar to the introduction of CRMs or eCommerce.

However, there are challenges faced by buyers, suppliers, and non-governmental organizations like:

  • Availability of data, which is high.
  • Quality of data, which is low.
  • Meaning of data: Hermix is unique, with our 9 million contracts analyzed.

We collaborate with the University of Luxembourg, KU Leuven, and Eureka, along with experts like Joep Crompvoets and Michel Bosco. The discussions from WAICF highlight the opportunity to further advance policy and governance in this area.

We will organize a live webinar with these exceptional experts on May 5, where we will discuss Data Governance and AI in the Public Sector & Procurement. Register now.
