The Technopolis Group is one of Europe's leading consultancies in science, technology and innovation policy. We conduct studies and offer strategic advice to organisations aiming to stimulate science and technology. The unifying idea behind Technopolis is to support public policy in relation to the funding, generation and use of knowledge in the areas of innovation, technology, research and e-commerce. Areas of specialisation include evaluation, research and innovation policies, institutional development, regional development, cluster policies and information society. We are expanding our training activities, contribute to university teaching and maintain close links with academic partners in institutions relevant to our specialisation. We have conducted assignments in over 30 countries, with an emphasis on European countries. Our clients are typically Science, Technology and Industry Ministries, Regional governments and development agencies, Research Councils, Agencies for Innovation Policy, and international organisations such as the European Commission, the OECD, UNIDO and the World Bank.
