Market Intelligence for Government Buyers

Market intelligence is one of the most critical activities in the overall buying process — but also time-consuming and complex. So Public Spend Forum is holding a free MasterClass next week Tuesday, Augurst 17 at 3:30 pm ET (a bit late for our European readers) focused on improving program and procurement outcomes through the proven 7MI Framework for Market Intelligence. It will include:

– Understanding market segments and suppliers aligned to each segment
– Knowing the “language of the market”
– Understanding key trends shaping a market
– Knowing the economic and pricing models
– Identifying key differentiators of suppliers and which ones matter to you

7MI is a framework that incorporates fundamentals of how markets work and basics of economics. It is designed to be fact-based, analytical and collaborative with an emphasis on early supplier engagement.

During this Abbreviated Overview Master Class, hosted by Raj Sharma, you will learn about the overall framework and examples that you can start to put into place. It will cover:

– What is Market Intelligence?

– 7MI Overview

– Brief overview of each principle

This event will be 1.5 hours 

Learn more about the 7 MI framework and register here to attend.

Tools to control the chaos of security threats

GovShop recently hosted some innovative tech companies to pitch their solutions to a diverse audience of government buyers from local, state and federal agencies. They invited four ground-breaking companies to pitch their innovative solutions to an extensive panel of government buyers: here’s what each company had to offer:

• World Housing Solution: Energy-efficient, deployable and reusable shelters
• Snorkel AI: Software product to accelerate AI application development
• Exum Instruments: Mass spectrometer making in-lab analysis easy and low cost
• Nucleus Security: Application that mitigates vulnerabilities to security threats

Nucleus Security automates vulnerability analysis, prioritization and response to decrease potential security threats. Steve Carter, Founder of Nucleus Security, recently pitched to 250+ government buyers at the weekly Emerging Tech and Innovation Showcase, and you can watch the video below to hear his pitch:
