Today's dialogue shapes tomorrow's world

EU Services Overview

Regional Roots, Global Outreach

We know the issues and political debates at the European level as well as within the individual member states of the European Union. We bring the right stakeholders and citizens together on site, in the local language, and their respective cultural and social environments.

Enabling us to do so is a broad European network of national champions with which we cooperate in the areas of participation, dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration. The network has come together based on shared ideas, values, and concepts for the future of Europe. Together with our German founding partner ifok, A Cadmus Company, the network enables us to perform stakeholder dialogues in all member states and all national languages of the European Union

Achieving Sustainable Solutions

With the combination of deep technical and policy insight we enable our clients to deliver maximum societal impact and effectiveness. We know the topics, the stakeholders and the debates. We rely on data-driven analysis, process innovation, the potential of interdisciplinary teams and the experience of the people on site. We know which methods lead to success: from design thinking to citizens' workshops, from dialogue platforms to social media campaigns, from technical assessments to stakeholder management. With our broad expertise ranging from energy, climate and transportation to digitalization, safety, security and resilience, we are strengthening society and the natural world. 

Expertise that Creates a Dialogue

For our clients, we bring the right people to the table. We listen, ask, and understand; we connect, moderate, and facilitate. This creates solutions off the beaten track, pioneering strategies and trend-setting alliances that can only emerge if you bring the relevant stakeholders together-be it subject matter experts, policy makers, interest groups, civil society, and everyday citizens. 

We know that silo-based thinking and pre-packaged solutions aren't enough to achieve our clients' goals. Therefore, we are open and agile, innovative and dedicated--we want to shape, connect, encourage. Our team is comprised of social scientists, environmental engineers, experts in communications, energy, health, and transportation. Working across disciplines, together we develop strategies and solve problems from a single source.

Citizen Participation and Stakeholder Dialogue

Create tangible results through open government

European societies are more dynamic, diverse, and connected than ever before. The traditional institutions and mechanisms of representative democracy are grappling to keep up with these developments and guarantee inclusive and efficient decision-making.

Cadmus is proud to help leaders at the local, regional, national, and European level supplement representative policymaking with citizen and stakeholder participation. We cater to the growing need for openness, transparency, and cooperation in political institutions.

A random selection of citizens, a variety of facilitation methods and events, a targeted combination of face-to-face and e-participation, and accompanying communication campaigns are our tools to make our citizen participation projects inclusive and accessible. We create open dialogues and constructive deliberation and make sure that tangible results are fed into the relevant administrative and legislative processes. We help public sector agencies build open government platforms and processes, establish agile cooperation and management practices, and build capacities for the implementation of collaborative action.representative policymaking with citizen and stakeholder participation. We cater to the growing need for openness, transparency, and cooperation in political institutions.

Energy and Climate

Across the globe, government agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and companies are taking an increasingly proactive approach to tackle climate change. The European Commission has created the European Green Deal, deliberately designed as a broad package of measures that would lead the EU to climate neutrality, promote economic growth, and ensure a fair transition for everyone. More than ever before, involving policymakers, interest groups, and citizens from all societal levels in the process will be a prerequisite for achieving ambitious goals.

Cadmus Europe is proud to help leaders in all areas find solutions around climate-related issues, mitigate impacts, and enhance sustainability and resilience. We are the neutral broker to mediate interests and build consensus. We help deliver results, including reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, comprehensive climate-related risk evaluations, strategies to prepare for and adapt to climate and extreme weather events, and improved health, social, and economic outcomes for entire populations.

Resilience and All Hazard Preparedness

Whether you are with a ministry or agency, private sector enterprise, university, or nongovernmental organization, the responsibility for people's lives and livelihoods in an era of rapidly evolving risks is a paramount concern.

Strategic Foresight and Anticipatory Governance

Strategic foresight is a framework to think creatively about the future, challenge assumptions, and minimize surprise. Strategic foresight provides an innovative approach for engaging stakeholders in a substantive dialogue about how the future could unfold and the implications of various plausible futures for an organization's mission space and effectiveness.

Cadmus Europe's strategic foresight solutions enable organizations to adopt a forward-looking, anticipatory posture with a thorough analysis of how future trends may impact organizational strategy, operations, and effectiveness. Our consultants provide added value at the intersection of strategic foresight and its implementation into decision-making processes and strategy in the private sector and government.

Digitalization and Smart Government

Digital transformation is more than generating data, more than digital infrastructures and video conferencing, and more than start-up accelerators. It is about human beings and how our communication and interactions change with machines, bots, virtual teachers, games, and all of the technology combined. Whether it's the promotion of smart cities and regions, digital ecosystems, or education, agile management, fast and efficient learning, adaptation, and rapid development make the difference. New models for control and cooperation are needed.

For more than two decades, we have been a pioneer of the network society, and we are equipped with the necessary tools for the age of digital transformation. We advise our clients on the use of network thinking, how to set up and govern processes and platforms for digital and data strategies, innovation in the Internet of Things and the future of work, the transformation of smart cities and regions, and the opportunities and challenges of a digital society. Despite the complexity, we ensure concrete outcomes with local impact, the engagement and coordination of all stakeholders and citizens in the transformation process, and collaboration with states and among stakeholders in Europe and across the world.

EU Transportation

Move forward through smart innovation

Innovative transportation solutions have wide-ranging potential. But in a rapidly evolving landscape that includes new technologies, changing travel patterns, and shifting policy priorities, it can be challenging to find the technologies and programs that best fit our society's specific needs. New sustainable solutions can only be implemented if all relevant stakeholders are involved - from transportation experts to society as a whole.

Cadmus Europe works with clients in the public and private sectors to develop sustainable transportation solutions that enhance communities, protect the environment, and secure employment and jobs. Our consultants are industry experts who are deeply involved in emerging transportation policies and practices in Europe and the United States. We provide stakeholder outreach and engagement services, manage expert and dialogue platforms, and conduct policy analysis, technology assessment, modeling, and tool development across all transportation modes.
