Thought Leadership
Part of our mission is to connect companies and organizations with EU policy initiatives that are shaping the future society that is digital and sustainable. In 2021, Dr2 Consultants organized webinars with distinguished policy-makers, think tanks and industry representatives and launched its dedicated Fit for 55 services, which offer targeted solutions to navigate the evolving policy environment at EU level and anticipate the impact of the Fit for 55 package proposed by the European Commission. In 2022, Dr2 Consultants is celebrating its 10th anniversary and on this occasion we plan to organize a series of events and launch our trend report that looks back on the development of the EU policy in the last decade and reflect on the vision how it would evolve in the coming ten years.
Finally, the Dr2 Academy offers a curriculum of tailor-made EU Affairs trainings and one-on-one coaching sessions to help organizations navigate the EU maze and empower individuals to operate effectively at EU level.
