Located at the heart of Europe, Octopux Consulting is a young consultancy company that not only designs and engineers projects, but helps clients optimising their access to EU funding. Thanks to our fresh ideas and passion-driven attitude, we deliver custom-made solutions by committing ourselves to the highest professional standards. Because INNOVATION IS KEY TO SUCCESS!
Our proximity to the core of EU policy and decision-making and our extensive network of contacts gives Octopux Consulting a privileged access to intelligence on EU funding and EU developments as they happen.
We offer an extensive package of EU services to clients covering not only EU funding and lobbying. In addition, Octopux Consulting is an expert in Brussels on EU funding, project opportunities and delivery, a service even the largest and best known consultancies cannot match. Our services are provided by our highly-skilled team of European consultants to our clients operating essentially in scientific, research, economic, business and trade sectors.
As an independent consultancy, Octopux Consulting is that rare entity in the prevailing trend of large consultancies, which allows us to be flexible. Independent and compact, but with partners throughout Europe, we can offer individual, tailor-made packages for our clients while keeping costs competitive and our services negotiable.
Committed to the highest professional standards, integrity and innovation are key to our service to clients and in our relations with the European Institutions. We are dedicated to delivering beyond expectations.
