For over a decade, the European Commission has provided specialized funds to new member countries both prior to their entrance into the European Union and immediately after. Within this framework, we assist member countries to meet many of the structural and regulatory reforms required to access the funding streams, including those in telecommunications, environmental efficiency, information technology and infrastructure development. Additionally, our Brussels team has advised governments, corporations and non-governmental organizations on strategies that create effective public-private partnerships to access the millions of euros available. Being at the center of the decision-making, we assist clients to work with the political and policy framework that determines where programmatic monies will be allocated--thereby helping companies to successfully enter, and become corporate leaders in these emerging markets.
