Digital Engagement The Chicago Department of Public Health has recently launched its official website and social media channels, including Instagram, indicating a focus on digital engagement. This presents opportunities to offer digital marketing, content management solutions, and community outreach platforms.

Data Integration Initiatives The department has partnered with Northern Illinois University to create an integrated data sharing system across agencies, highlighting a need for advanced data management, analytics, and cybersecurity solutions to improve public health decision-making.

Sustainability and Infrastructure With the launch of the Chicago Moves Electric Framework to enhance EV charging infrastructure, there is a clear demand for technology, equipment, and consulting services related to sustainable transportation and energy solutions.

Public Safety Technology The city’s partnership decisions, such as the non-renewal of gunshot detection technology ShotSpotter, point to evolving security priorities. Opportunities may exist for alternative public safety tech solutions or community monitoring tools.

Health & Community Programs As a core public health agency, there may be opportunities to provide health monitoring platforms, clinical management software, or public health campaign solutions to support their community health initiatives and improve engagement.
