European & Digital Public Affairs

Politics can bolster markets through regulation, but can equally leave business models facing fresh challenges. Especially in an age that is defined by fundamental policy transformation (paradigm shifts such as climate protection, shifts in the security architecture, trade disputes), effective interaction with the political system is crucial. At the European, national and regional level this is vital in order to safeguard companies’ and organisations’ competitiveness, and can even determine their survival – especially if:

• profound political or social changes have an impact on their business models, and they want to proactively shape these changes
• NGOs create a mood or climate where opinion turns against companies, organisations, industries or interests
• companies and organisations are not being listened to or cannot put across their opinions

Businesses and organisations have a right to be heard and have their interests taken into consideration. We enable businesses and organisations to protect their interests, get them NGO-ready and up to speed on public affairs, and help to shape political and legal frameworks.

Our services include:

• Monitoring, analysing the impacts of political and social developments on business models, mapping the current situation, and developing public affairs strategies, position papers and lines of argumentation 
• ​Analysing and evaluating current public affairs processes and tools, developing strategies and visions, raising awareness within the business or organisation
• Professional, analytical stakeholder mapping and management
