Political Dialogue

Legislation & Regulation, Trade Policy, Competition and Perception & Awareness

Access to policymakers and credible communication matters in an ever more globalised world. Laws, regulations, tariffs and regional barriers directly impact on your competitiveness and business success in individual markets. Free trade, trade defence, international regulatory coherence, or competition policy increasingly set the frame for your business to grow internationally.

Media Dialogue

Strategic and Crisis Communication, Reputation Management and Media Campaigning

The media are powerful: they set agendas, they shape public opinion, and they shake up markets. The media can push the most sensitive issues into the spotlight, or serve as a platform to actively communicate your interests. It all depends on how well you interact with them. Whether your business is confronted with a crisis, if your reputation is at stake, or if you need to shift public perceptions about a certain topic – effective media relations work is crucial.

Market Dialogue

Markets, Channels and Trade Facilitation

Global supply chains and digital communications have brought the world closer together. Yet each market remains unique – be it Europe, Asia or the Americas. Expanding internationally and building strength in new markets depends on flexibility, strong local expertise, and robust networks.

Funding Dialogue

Funding Research, Consortium Brokerage, Project Management and Proposal Drafting

Access to funding is more than just access to money. An EU funded project grants you access to top-notch researchers, engineers, or future business partners. Funding is also about visibility, profiling, and thought-leadership. It doesn’t matter whether your project is about cutting-edge technology, social entrepreneurship, basic research or business concepts along the EU’s policy priorities.
