Technology
Information and communications technology (ICT) continually advances, fuelled by incredible innovations. From the latest mobile entertainment trends and the social networking phenomenon to service-oriented architectures and on-the-fly software applications, these advances have the power to completely redefine the way we see and use technology, personally and professionally.
Converging information and communications sectors are not only the key enabler of all economic and political activity, but as such are a major focus of EU policies across the board, from telecommunications reform to anti-trust investigations to intellectual property protection and consumer protection.
Burson-Marsteller Brussels’ senior consultants each have more than 25 years’ experience in the evolving ICT policy market in Brussels. We provide companies in this sector with the legislative, communications and public affairs support and strategic advice that they require – whatever their specific challenge at EU or national level. We have helped clients achieve their legislative objectives, designed communications campaigns, facilitated outreach to other stakeholders in a policy debate, helped position client CEOs and provided media relations to reinforce public affairs objectives.
