As the public and government affairs function is becoming more professional and data-driven, a number of companies/tools have appeared on the European scene.
Their mission: help lobbyists, regulatory managers and corporate affairs professionals track, monitor, analyse, log events and trends, and/or connect and engage with policymakers at EU institutions, government officials at local or national level, and stakeholders at large.
Below is a non-comprehensive list of all the tools/companies offering digital public affairs tools of some kind. If you run a service that should be on this list, let me know and I’ll update it.
Important: the numbers below are not meant to be a ranking of any kind. The blurbs were taken from the respective companies’ website, without any comment or evaluation from me. I didn’t include any social media tracking tools that have no links to government or corporate affairs, or Europe.
