Public affairs involves positioning a project vis-à-vis political and societal decision-makers and bringing its concerns into approval and consultation processes – particularly in the case of infrastructure and location projects, where funding often has a political dimension. Effective positioning vis-à-vis stakeholders and the support of the project by political decision-makers can further improve the chances of approval. The Funding Team can cover this aspect through its parent company, CONCILIUS AG, a political consultancy operating in Germany and at EU level that represents the interests of projects vis-à-vis funding bodies and stakeholders.
