VATTEL is a communication think-tank working to improve stakeholder engagement for the purpose of better EU policy.

Our passion is for efficient, inclusive, open and practical policy-making.

Our areas of expertise are industry, energy, environment, diplomacy and health.

Combining traditional lobbying with social network tools, VATTEL has developed an idea of the Business to Policy B2P® concept.

In addition to going through technology/industry specific trade associations, businesses and policy-makers should talk directly in an open, inclusive and transparent way.

Better policy is a fusion of democracy (common interest) and a 'business case' (specific interest). Most often these can be conducted in accord.

We are keen on direct and sustained two-way dialogue between regulators and stakeholders, and see the potentials of effective use of social media.

We are not interested in 'social media' hype or technical jargon, but we deliver simple and measurable results, fast and where it matters.

We advise on use of all the social media tools and Twitter is our specialty.

VATTEL offers advice and facilitation on stakeholder engagement, effective policy making, knowledge transfer and optimisation of communication and EU engagement.

Our expertise includes training and capacity-building in policy communication tools. We pride ourselves on our analytic and evidence based approach, ensuring immediate practical value.

We are based in Brussels and London with a network of European experts.
