The IDEA-signature
For 25 years, IDEA Consult has been an influential player in the field of policy support advice.
Our insights are evidence-based and focused by an in-depth knowledge of the relevant field. Societal issues are the touchstone for all our work and our teams are committed to supporting the ongoing transition to a green, resilient, sustainable and inclusive society. However, we never overlook the human touch or the need to justify our recommendations from an economic perspective.
We have summarised our philosophy in the IDEA Consult Manifesto. It explains who we are and what makes us different and unique.
