State and local governments need smarter, modernized software to provide critical services to our communities, and educators need the tools to deliver high-quality digital learning experiences to their students.

    Accelerating adoption

    OpenGov

    Cox Enterprises made initial investments in OpenGov in 2021 and 2022. In 2024, Cox Enterprises acquired majority ownership of OpenGov, making this our largest new-industry commitment to date, valued at $1.8 billion.

    Now, with a majority ownership of the company, we are building on our goals to grow new, diverse businesses and help close the technology gap facing state and local governments. One in three people in the U.S. now benefits from OpenGov software. Soon it will be even more.
