Lobbying in the EU and beyond

Here is what you need to know

It’s not only about what you do, but how and why you do it.

It’s not enough to have interests and priorities, you should also be able to present them to the right people at the right level of the hierarchy. This also entails important preparatory work, identifying the right access (and entry points) and laying the groundwork for conveying messages efficiently.

Through a tailor-made approach we can help you voice and represent your interests vis-a-vis decision-makers at the EU institutions. 

At the same time, we also help build connections with decision-makers from Central and Eastern Europe. We consider this geographical coverage an important element for a successful lobbying campaign. 

Some examples of our work

  • We helped a large Brussels-based consulting firm get in touch with decision-makers in CEE to represent and voice the position of their clients regarding a complex file that is currently being discussed on EU level.

  • We conducted a wide-spanning in-depth analyses of the Recovery and Resilience Plans of Member States (over 20 available at that time), identifying opportunities for our client to be involved in its implementation.

  • We provided an analysis of relevant political developments on national level regarding business and investment opportunities.

  • We undertook a thorough analysis about one of the major programmes of the European Union, regarding preparation, implementation and legacy.

  • We developed a stakeholder mapping for a prestigious CEE think-tank, identifying relevant decision-makers on EU level who match their priorities.

  • We advised partners regarding developing training events for experts from Member States.

We are also doing the following:

  • Setting up meetings with relevant decision-makers on EU and national level.

  • Policy monitoring about relevant developments on EU level.
