We help businesses, governments & institute defining and shaping their EU-agenda. Then we successfully implement your agenda through lobbying, networking & project development, resulting in EU-funding.
Through a proven, successful model EU Quest enhances your activities
EU Quest develops and builds your EU-agenda on the experience of its widely proven model of 4 interrelating activities.
These interrelating activities are Lobbying – Networking – Communication – Project Development as to apply for EU grants. Though we execute all of these tasks separately, we will always keep the wider framework on our mind, as we know by experience that it in some form will be needed while executing an activity as to maximising your success and impact.
E.g. a successful lobby interrelates with relevant networks and accurate communication and information flows from and to Brussels, but e.g. project development is often only possible with relevant international partners from networks, resulting in dissemination of results and often conveying and reinforcing your message to other levels of government.
EU Quest builds on its experiences in broad themes in urban development as well as innovation with the triple and quadruple helix.

I was born in Heerlen, the Netherlands, within the heart of the EU region Meuse-Rhine, where three countries meet. After my secondary school (modern gymnasium, sciences) in Belgium, I studied in Antwerp and Brussels at the Vlekho, the Flemish Business School. I’m holding a bachelor marketing and an academic bachelor degree in business economics, specializing in international business including EU-policies, from the Vlekho in Brussels.
