EUPPORTUNITY

The European Union is the source of approximately two thirds of legislation that directly or indirectly affects the economic activity of its member states and third countries. This is why companies and other entities need to know in advance what is being prepared in Brussels.

For most companies and other entities, setting up and maintaining a Brussels-based office to liaise with European institutions would involve unacceptable high costs. Moreover, it is generally true that those companies or entities cannot hope to be sufficiently represented by merely joining European sector-based associations.

Eupportunity, the first Portuguese EU affairs consulting company, gives its clients a competitive edge through a number of highly effective procedures: monitoring EU political and legislative initiatives; defending its clients’ positions vis-à-vis European decision makers; and identifying business and funding opportunities stemming from Brussels.

Since 2009, we have built a reputation of excellence representing companies and associations in a wide range of sectors: pharmaceutics, banking, IT, construction, retail, and tourism, among others. During this time, we have also assisted regional entities and public companies operating in the various sectors.

Our highly qualified and experienced team has acquired extensive knowledge about European institutions and the private sector, in addition to building a large network of contacts in Brussels.

Eupportunity functions as an ongoing and personalised liaison between its clients, the European institutions and stakeholders in Brussels. It focuses on three main activities:

1. Public Affairs

• Intelligence;
• Risk analysis;
• Profile raising;
• Representation and advocacy.

2. European Funding Programmes

3. Internationalisation

• European public procurement;
• External cooperation;
• Map of Africa;
• Country Reports;
• Services for companies outside the EU.
