Sign language avatar on Innovation Marketplace

We are very delighted that our sign language avatar tool kit (Software-as-a-Service; SaaS) has been listed on the innovation marketplace of the Competence Center for Innovative Procurement (KOINNO) of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE).
This inclusion in the marketplace full of innovative approaches means more to us than just recognition, visibility or an award – it underscores that we are on the right track and highlights the growing importance of digital accessibility and inclusive access for all.

What Does This Listing Mean?

The Innovation Marketplace of the Competence Center for Innovative Procurement (KOINNO) – the point of contact for all questions relating to innovative public procurement – of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWE) is a platform that connects and brings together public sector buyers/ public contracting authorities with innovative solutions. By being included in this marketplace, we ensure that our technology is visible and directly accessible to public authorities, municipalities, and institutions.

For us, this means:

• Visibility & Reach: Public buyers can now easily find, assess, and implement our solution.
• Seal of Trust: The listing serves as a signal of quality and innovation – a sign that our solution is market-ready and relevant to the public sector.
• Procurement Proximity: Public organizations now have a direct path to adopting our SaaS solution to meet their innovation and digital transformation needs.

Our Sign Language Avatar Toolkit – At a Glance

As described in our KOINNO profile:
“The Sign Language Avatar Toolkit (Software-as-a-Service) is the world’s first AI-based solution for translating digital services from written text into German Sign Language.” Read more app.koinnovationsplatz.de/marktplatz-der-innovationen/68e66d9d1ffdbdaf2e015703

Here’s what that means in practice:

• Even without prior sign language expertise, users can create, embed, and manage sign language videos using our authoring tool.
• The solution is aimed at a wide range of target groups: municipalities, public administrations, e-government, educational institutions, online shops, public transport providers, and more.
• It supports compliance with legal requirements such as the German accessibility regulation BITV 2.0.
• Scalability and automation allow for the provision of accessible content even when a human sign language interpreter is not available.

With this technology, we want to enable real added value: digital participation, inclusion, and accessibility across websites, information systems, and mobile applications.

Why Now – And What’s Next?

Being listed on the KOINNO marketplace comes at a strategically important time:

1. Alignment with Public Sector Needs: Public institutions are undergoing large-scale digital transformation. Our solution can play a key role in making these services accessible and inclusive.
2. Impulses for Tenders & Innovation Projects: Via the platform, our offering is now visible to calls for tenders, innovation initiatives, and potential funding programs.
3. Feedback & Pilot Projects: We’re looking forward to more feedback from public sector users, pilot projects, and partnerships that will help us refine our solution.
4. Ongoing Development: Based on real-world use and feedback, we will continue improving our toolkit – e.g. expanding the sign language vocabulary, enhancing customization options, and our artificial intelligence (AI - integrating self-learning components).

Thank You to Everyone on This Journey

This milestone would not have been possible without our dedicated team, our partners, the sign language community, and all those working towards inclusive digital communication.
We see our inclusion in the KOINNO Marketplace as a mandate: to keep going, keep improving, and keep breaking down barriers.
