Our story.
eu.Ness is a Brussels-based consultancy created in 2009 and specializing in European affairs, communication and stakeholder engagement.
Our approach? We combine insight gathered by our proprietary AI monitoring tool with 20+ years of expertise in designing campaign and communication strategies for key EU institutions and professional associations, ensuring impact and effectiveness.
For us success means your messages not only reach the right audience but are understood and remembered.
We offer the full package from designing strategies and crafting turnkey action plans, to delivering all-inclusive services.
Our team of data analysts, strategists, and media and social media experts is ready to provide the insight and support needed to ensure the success of your outreach activities.
Working at the intersection of strategy, communication and policy, we’ve developed over the past two years a strong interest – and now deep engagement – in the rise of artificial intelligence and the way it is reshaping both our organization and those we serve.
What started as curiosity quickly became a strategic focus: today, we actively help clients explore how to integrate AI in a way that is practical, human-centered, and fully regulatory compliant. From use case design to internal readiness and regulatory framing, we work to ensure AI adoption is clear, trusted, and truly impactful.
Services.
Happy clients.
A wide range of organisations are trusting us – including EU institutions and agencies, private companies, professional associations, and civil society organisations.
DG CONNECT
Robert MADELIN
Former Director General
“I chaired a workstream on the development of a multi-stakeholder community around self- and co-regulation practice. eu.Ness and Caroline in particular worked with me on this. The workload was heavy, the budget tight and the turnround times sometimes challenging. The political environment was not easy, either in the Commission or among the stakeholders. I was always very pleased with the work of the team: they were really committed to success, did not cut corners or bean-count. They remained focussed and positive even under stress. They undoubtedly have contributed to the success of this endeavour, and I would use their services again with alacrity.”
DG SANTE
Petra LEROY CADOVA
Policy Officer
“eu.Ness supported the launch phase of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP) and greatly contributed to raising stakeholder awareness and engagement into the process, both through direct contact (meetings, conferences) as well as online communication (EIP website, email). Not only did they dedicate a lot of time to managing the daily activities of the EIP website (newsletter, moderation, news/events/ documents/publications, replying to members), but they also came up with valuable and creative proposals to improve the website. During the whole collaboration, eu.Ness proved to be reliable and flexible while adapting quickly to tight deadlines; they were creative and enthusiastic and a pleasure to work with.”

Generations Recruitment
Yoni SZPIRO
Founder and CEO
“I’ve hired eu.Ness at the early stage of my project “Generations Recruitment”. Although the sector of recruitment is not part of their core activities, Caroline and her team helped me considerably in developing my communication strategy on the basis of our regular meetings, their personal findings analysing the competition and the market development. They were able to think outside of the box, delivering spot-on suggestions for the tools to be developed as well as their creation. eu.Ness team intervention and commitment has helped me considerably building the strategy to stand out from the heavy competition.”

Catherine Hartmann
Secrétaire Générale
« Lors du lancement de notre association, nous avons eu besoin très rapidement d’une nouvelle Charte graphique et d’une première série d’outils de communication. L’équipe d’eu.Ness a fait preuve de beaucoup de flexibilité, d’originalité et de professionnalisme dans la création de notre nouvelle image graphique et dans la mise en place de notre première campagne à Bruxelles, tout en respectant nos délais. Elle a su mettre en valeur nos messages et convictions et les adapter pour qu’ils soient faciles d’accès. Leur disponibilité, amabilité et créativité en font des partenaires idéaux ! »
