Belgium
Companies looking for guidance within the Belgian landscape also came knocking on the door of our EU office in Brussels. That led to the creation of a team specialising in Belgian policy & politics. Our location places us at the epicentre of politics; strategically positioned between the Belgian, the European and other international institutions.
Welcome to Brussels too
Our Belgian team works closely together with our EU-focused colleagues to provide you with seamless support across all levels of policymaking. We share the same approach and values, yet our expertise spans diverse sectors.
Our sectors
Our fields
of action
With a primary focus on digital, tech, healthcare, food, pharma, energy and mobility, we have a broad portfolio in which we energetically and passionately support you with the relevant expertise.
Our services
The nuts and bolts
of our office
We identify risks and opportunities
Our BE team includes experts from different sectors with the necessary experience and insights into Belgian policy, communication strategies and public affairs as a whole. They closely monitor the developments at the heart of Belgian politics as well, to ensure that you are early and fully informed of any changes that may impact your sector or company.
We participate in the policymaking process
Genuinely understanding the pulse of Belgian legislation, our team empowers policy decisions by bridging the gap between policymakers and real-world impact. Thus, we deliver crucial insights to facilitate informed and effective policymaking.
We engage with relevant stakeholders
Our mission is to foster meaningful relationships. And to ensure that the voices of those affected by legislation are heard by our policymakers, we facilitate open dialogues and encourage cooperation. Collaboration for collective impact!
We adopt an adaptive attitude
The can-do attitude is deeply rooted in our DNA: we actively seek solutions and deviate from an initial strategy if it would not achieve the predefined goals. Yes, we are versatile. If we need to be flexible, we will be. If the plan needs to be changed, we change. Until you are fully helped and satisfied.
We meet your unique needs
Client needs vary, and we tailor our services accordingly. Whether you need a monitoring system that fits your format and information flow, or a communication strategy customised to your goals and audiences, we listen with utmost precision.

Maybe these markets are of interest to you?
Portugal
The new kid on the block? Not really. Despite only being active as of 2018, we already have a certain stature in the Portuguese landscape. We give our partners a voice in political debates and solidify their position – ultimately turning needs into deeds.
Spain
In Spain, we act from two offices: one in Madrid (2001) and one in Barcelona (2024). Sharing the same market, we believe in the power of synergy and thus regularly put our heads together to maximise our effectiveness.
European Union
While we work in the same building as our Belgian colleagues, we specialise in EU topics. This makes our Brussels office the ideal hub for collaboration. We pride ourselves in having a professional yet people-oriented approach, ensuring that we get the work done while valuing personal connections. As a result, there will always be room for a coffee catchup in between strategy sessions.
