We support progress across the European Union, partnering with EU institutions, agencies and bodies to deliver meaningful impact
EU services
What we do
We work with the institutions, agencies and bodies of the European Union to deliver meaningful outcomes for society and the planet. We understand the delivery demands, public accountability and administrative complexity that are inherent to the EU institutional landscape. Drawing on both global expertise and deep sector knowledge, we propose practical, workable solutions—designed to help the EU meet the evolving needs of European citizens.
With teams based in all 27 EU member states and around the world, we offer services across the following key areas:
Issues shaping the EU agenda
Tax and customs
Taxation and customs policies help ensure the smooth functioning of the EU single market—supporting both citizens and businesses across the European Union.
Borders, migration and security
In an increasingly globalised world, the EU must balance secure borders with the free flow of people, goods, services, and capital. We help design smarter, faster, and more secure access across EU borders.
Space
We support the European institutions as well as the European Space Agency in shaping space-related policies. Our work includes assessing the economic viability of programmes through cost-benefit analysis and evaluating the socio-economic impact of key actions to understand their desirability, effectiveness, and sustainability. We bring technical expertise across the full spectrum of space policy—and help address cross-sector and cross-policy issues.
Innovation and growth
Innovation is a key driver of economic growth and EU competitiveness. In response to the rapid pace in today’s economy, EU institutions have made research and innovation a priority. We deliver creative solutions across a range of focus areas—SME development, digital entrepreneurship, innovative business solutions, key enabling technologies, and the sharing economy.
EU Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF)
We help the European Institutions and the managing authorities in the Member States in achieving the full potential of ESIF. The smart application of financial instruments can significantly enhance public investment capacity—especially in times of budget constraints.
Financial services
Following the global financial crisis of 2007 and the euro crisis of 2009, the EU institutions began reviewing their role and activities to build a more resilient financial system and a more competitive financial services landscape—both essential to the success of the EU internal market. We understand how critical these institutions are to the future of EU bank supervision, as supervisors face the challenges of ongoing sovereign crisis, structural changes, and new regulatory structures.
Energy and transport
In the fields of energy and transport, the EU promotes policies that are efficient, safe, secure, and environmentally sustainable. We support the EU institutions in addressing key challenges and provide evaluation, impact assessment, and thematic study services on the topics at the top of the EU agenda.
Digital economy
In a connected world, the way citizens interact with governments is increasingly shaped by the possibilities of new technology. We support the EU institutions in maximising the potential of these technologies to deliver better, faster public services—both within Member States and in the EU institutions themselves.
Public procurement
We’re a trusted adviser to EU institutions and Member State public administrations in the field of public procurement. We help simplify public procurement procedures, rethink approaches to purchasing and spending, and advise on pan-European public procurement matters—analysing trends and proposing innovative solutions.
The EU as a global actor
Thanks to our global network of skills and capabilities we offer the resources and know-how of a worldwide organisation—combined with detailed knowledge of local issues. Drawing on our broad expertise, we’ve delivered EU-funded projects around the world.
