Fragmented public participation processes create unnecessary risk and frustration. PublicGate provides an innovative, impartial and efficient platform to streamline public participation.

Simple, online Public Participation.
Public Participation is the process by which public concerns, needs and values are incorporated into governmental and corporate decision-making. PublicGate delivers an online, efficient and impartial Public Participation process.
Accessible
PublicGate ensures that the public can participate safely and always for free! Our online platform is easy to use and accessible 24/7 from mobile and desktop devices.
Informative
We advocate for public participation as a force for good for all. PublicGate educates users on best practices and improves participation processes.
Independent
PublicGate is transparent, independent, and democratic. We are not the decision-makers; we only keep the gate open.

Facilitating meaningful conversations.
PublicGate facilitates inclusive and impartial two-way communication between the public, private sector, and governing bodies. Involving the public early on leads to more legitimate, sustainable and less contested decisions as they consider the needs and interests of all stakeholders, including vulnerable populations. Stakeholders also better understand and are more invested in the outcomes.
