Applications Open for GovTech Lab’s Innovation Partnership with BnL until 31 January

Luxembourg’s GovTech Lab has announced the launch of its new innovation partnership with the National Library of Luxembourg (BnL), entitled “Bot4Lib”.

As part of the partnership, GovTech Lab is seeking applications for an innovative solution to automate the inventory of the reading room of the National Library of Luxembourg. Currently, inventories are carried out manually with the process taking an extended amount of time as well as requiring a large number of staff to be available to participate.

The solution envisaged by the partnership would integrate an autonomous robot with an intelligent document recognition system. This robot would navigate in public spaces, identifying each document using computer vision. The robot would then transmit the collected data to a management system, allowing the BnL staff to rectify any storage errors.

Economic operators who are interested in participating in “Bot4Lib” are accordingly invited to consult the call for solutions via the public procurement portal and to submit their application file by Friday 31 January 2025.

Further information can be found at the GovTech Lab website. Applications can be submitted via the Public Procurement Portal.
