    Communication activities

    The organisation seeks to establish contact between the startup community and policy makers in the European institutions as well as relevant bodies and agencies. Further, it seeks to serve as a reliable source for policy makers to receive information about startups and digital entrepreneurship, to this extent the organisation is involved in events and other public activities.

    We connect our members to EU institutions using a variety of methods, from events, in-person and online engagement to work with the press, newsletters and social media. These publications are housed on our website, as is a list of events in which we take part.

    Meetings

    12 meetings found. Download meetings

    The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.

    1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
