We offer customized market entry advisory services to help private sector firms, governments, and industry associations access new markets and seize new opportunities. We help our clients to navigate the turbulent and ever-expanding business environment, offering crucial external business information and expertise in its efficient management and utilization. We turn information into actionable insights for daily decision-making and strategic planning.

Our approach to market entry and business development goes beyond simply identifying, vetting and pursuing local opportunities; we help our clients fully understand the broader landscape as well as the nuances of the local political and business culture, and position our clients in such a way as to minimize the disadvantages a foreign entity might otherwise face.

We work to foster a competitive dynamic to secure desirable terms and assist with navigating both the corporate and political elements of the local market, as well as any regulatory hurdles which may exist. We leverage relationships with the local government and private sector leaders so as to provide the highest probability of a successful outcome.

We have a dedicated consulting team with backgrounds in public affairs and government relations, executive search, strategy, operations, risk management, business development, sales, finance, marketing, research, and B2B management. We have sector expertise in multiple industries and our networks are global, so we can offer clients direct support in the entire EU/UK area and beyond.

We specialize in the following areas:

• Industry Research & Monitoring
• Competitor Profiles
• Customer Profiles
• Market Research
• Strategic & Business Intelligence

We offer fact-based background checks aimed at assessing the risk, reputation or potential in a business or an individual. Our discreet service is used by banks, financial institutions, venture capital firms and high-net-worth individuals to evaluate risk prior to conducting a merger, acquisition, joint venture or investment.

Our due diligence services include:

• In-depth background checks on executives including verification of career paths, civil, financial and criminal records, directorships, government links and friend/family associations
• The validity of corporate structure and subsidiaries
• A review of legal and financial standings
• Research into the reputation of the company and key employees
• Analysis into the potential areas of risk

As a complement, we also offer extensive media profiling of both legal and physical persons. We deliver a written report and analysis that we present in detail to our client.

We offer a unique tool with a proven track record to support firms, governments, and industry associations in anticipating the impact of any policy or regulatory initiative. The current everchanging political and business environment, in which evidence and impact assessment play a key role in the decision-making processes, makes socio-economic analysis a must-have.

Our international, regional and local clients in the public and private sectors rely on our ability to draw on expertise across a broad range of disciplines. We are recognized in the expert community for our credibility, objectivity and authority.

We understand the value of an effective project management. The more complex the project, the more challenging is the management and the more money is at risk. That is why we have created and developed solutions that effectively predict, plan, and execute complex national, regional and international projects.

We deliver results at the costs that are beneficial to our clients and partners. We believe there is no project that cannot be achieved - there are only those that are ineffective because they cost more than the benefit they provide.

We are proud to be part of ecosystem that helps innovative companies obtain various national and EU grants such as Horizon 2020 program. The high quality of the consulting services provided by our team of experts is confirmed by a long reference list of companies and institutions that have taken advantage of national and EU grants and other public subsidies to minimize risks involved in their projects and investments.

We have assisted our clients from different areas of industry to obtain funding to research and development projects (R&D projects), investments in new technologies, staff training projects, implementation of renewable energy sources and international business development.

We provide a one-stop shop for all consultancy services and grant procurement opportunities funded either by national governments or by the European Union, including the European Commission, its specialized agencies, the European Parliament, the European Delegations and all other programs and institutions managed centrally by the EU.

To increase the likelihood of success, a foreign entity interested in any public procurement process needs to identify the right partner(s) on-the-ground. It needs to understand the national and EU politics and be able to maneuver within the political environment. Our long-term experience with public procurement processes has led to the development of methods and tools designed to overcome these and many other important elements of doing business both on national and EU levels. For more than thirty years we have been helping companies achieve their objectives through both traditional and nontraditional consulting services.
