Who we help

Local Authorities & National Government

Empowering the Public Sector with Digital Asset Intelligence, Statutory Compliance & Infrastructure Governance

Local authorities, city councils, and national government departments manage complex networks of physical and digital assets across municipal footprints. From managing historical underground duct systems and street lighting columns to fulfilling strict regulatory requirements, public bodies need reliable data and carrier-neutral governance.

Novegen acts as a trusted Telecommunications Management partner, geospatial partner, and Independent Certifier for public bodies across Ireland, the UK, Europe. We help government bodies digitise their outside-plant assets, protect municipal road networks from repeated excavations, secure ongoing commercial revenue, and de-risk major public broadband investments.
