I founded a small company in my country doing this exact same format, but for energy and energy efficiency.

We have currently worked with our government and several other agencies, plus some overseas companies, and the struggles are basically the same.

Glad (kinda) to know I'm not the only one suffering with those problems. Sometimes is disheartening to struggle as a small company when working with this kind of entities.

We started with software only and quickly realised that our idea that others could do the implementation and consulting around the tools just didn't work. So we gradually had to set up hubs where we could provide the knowledge locally. That took quite a lot of effort. It works quite well though.
