The people

Behind EEIP

We are powered by a small, multinational team with diverse professional backgrounds. This mix of perspectives allows us to approach complex challenges from different angles, connect technical knowledge with communication expertise, and translate ideas into practical initiatives that create value across projects and sectors.

While the core team is compact, EEIP operates within a much larger ecosystem built around its long-standing information platform and European project network. Over the years, this ecosystem has connected thousands of professionals from industry, research, policy and finance who follow, contribute to and engage with our work. Together, this combination of focused internal expertise and a broad external network enables EEIP to support collaboration, innovation and knowledge exchange across Europe.
