We are an Austrian company built around one question: Why do municipalities still lack AI systems that actually fit their daily reality?
KI-Quadrat Systemhaus GmbH is headquartered in Gablitz near Vienna. We build sovereign AI systems specifically for public administration in Austria and beyond.
Our team is international. With people in Vienna, Dubai, Barcelona, Bangkok, and Dhaka, we bring global experience into a very Austrian context. What connects us is a shared background in cybersecurity and one common goal: AI that can be operated safely, transparently, and responsibly.
We work close to municipalities in Austria and build systems that stay understandable, auditable, and practical in daily administration.

KI-Quadrat is among the first companies in Austria with ISO 42001 certification for AI management. Not as a late add-on, but as the foundation of every solution we build.
We do not walk into municipalities with finished products. We sit down together, examine where processes stall, and shape solutions around real needs.
Before we build a solution, we make sure the legal and technical foundation is right. GDPR, NIS2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 are not late additions. They are the baseline for everything we do.
What is developed with one municipality and proven in real operations can benefit others as well. That is how local partnership turns into wider public value.
In Austria we work closely with Kommunalnet, a central knowledge and service network for municipalities. That partnership helps ensure our solutions understand municipal reality before they try to change it.
At the same time, we are preparing launches in additional European markets. Romania, Turkey, and Serbia are the next steps. The experience from Austria is the foundation.
Our approach combines local municipal knowledge with sovereign, on-premise capable AI systems built for public sector reality.

“AI in the public sector is not an experimental playground. Every system we build must remain understandable, auditable, and under human control. That is not just our view. It is our promise to every municipality we work with.”
Whether you have concrete questions, want a demo, or simply want to understand whether KI-Quadrat fits your municipality. We make the time.
