  • Gain 50 like-minded colleagues through our partner consultancy Bax, with an average 3-10 years of experience. One space, integrated communications; one team.
  • Receive professional support to access 25 funding programmes across Europe that allocate annually >€1Bn funding, at a 65% success rate.
  • Over 500 public and private clients, seeking new solutions and willing to test bold ideas for the public good.

Nurturing from

idea to launch

Publiq supports the development of concepts to market entry in a 9-phase programme.

  1. In the ideation phase, concepts are refined-in house, receiving external expert advice. The result is a value proposition and development roadmap – lead by a driven team.
  2. With selected technical partners and potential clients, we support an extensive development phase which takes the venture concept through rapid prototyping, piloting and demonstration
  3. As practical experiences and feedback from customers allow ventures to fine-tune the product, support shifts to building the team, branding and infrastructure around a successful venture.
