Ownership Structure

Independent firm co-founded and owned by former MEP, Luís Queiró, and Journalist and Political Adviser, Henrique Burnay.

International Network

The partnerships built throughout these 13 years are our most valuable asset and one that we nurture on a daily basis. We would highlight the ones with the Portuguese Catholic University, Kent University, Porto Business School, Nextlaw, Portugal Network, and the on-going participation in international EU projects: ALBATTS and DRIVES (Erasmus +) and Bundle-Up (Horizon 2020). Furthermore, we are founding members of The Brussels Group, a network of independent public affairs companies with a strong expertise at both European and national levels.

Key Strengths

By partnering with us, our clients learn how to tell their story in an effective way. Firstly, we know Brussels’ fast-paced landscape and institutional specificities, thus we identify the right interlocutors across a wide range of sectors. Secondly, we help them to bring added value to policy-makers, to question themselves “in what way can I be useful?, how do we match with European policies?” instead of simply asking “what can the EU do for me?”. Hence, we advise them on how to collect and present data on the right timing, while bringing the right mix of enthusiasm, experience and perseverance.
