Turn a policy ambition into something an administration can actually run.
Ministries, agencies, municipalities and regional development bodies.
Strategies fail in implementation, not in drafting. We assess the ecosystem you actually have, design the instrument that fits it, and build the capacity in your own staff to keep it running after we leave.
Three services, with the time each takes
Ecosystem assessment
An evidence-based read of the innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem you govern: what exists, what is missing, and which gap is worth public money.
AI governance for public administration
Procurement criteria, accountability structures, human oversight and the administrative capacity to operate them.
Regional strategy & internationalisation
Positioning, talent attraction and international partnership design, built with academia, business and government at the same table.
What is driving the question here
Innovation policy
Programme design and evaluation grounded in what the ecosystem can absorb, not what the strategy document says.
AI in administration
Procurement, accountability, human oversight and administrative capacity — institutional design, not abstract ethics.
Triple Helix
Getting academia, business and government into the same room and keeping them there past the launch event.
EU programmes
Positioning regional initiatives for European funding and consortium participation.

Three ways to start
Scoping review
2 weeks · fixed fee
We establish what you are actually deciding, what evidence you already hold, and whether the question needs us at all.
- Two structured sessions with your team
- Review of existing documentation and data
- A written scope with options, effort and sequence
Assessment
6–10 weeks · fixed scope
A structured review against a defined standard — regulatory, methodological or strategic — returned as a prioritised action list rather than a report that sits on a shelf.
- Baseline against the applicable framework
- Benchmarking against comparable organisations
- Findings ranked by exposure, with owners and sequence
- A workshop handing the findings to the people who act on them
Retained advisory
6–12 months · monthly
For organisations under continuing regulatory or geopolitical pressure, where the question changes faster than a project can answer it.
- Standing access for named decision-makers
- Quarterly horizon briefings on your specific exposure
- Board and committee material on request
