In 1987 ERA and a number of other consultancies in Europe formed a joint subsidiary called Eurostrategies. ERA owns one third of Eurostrategies equity. The other two shareholders are InterConnect Communications (ICC) of Chepstow, UK and the Bureau d'informations et de prévisions économiques (BIPE) of Paris. Eurostrategies also has associates in several other European countries. Eurostrategies adds a European, and global, dimension to the operations of the partner companies. It is thus in a position to respond to the growing need of business and governments to take their strategic decisions in a European and global context. Eurostrategies main areas of specialisation are telecommunications and posts. |
| ERA has also a working partnership
in the area of energy and the environment with two non-European consultancies, the
Washington International Energy Group (WIEG), now part of PA Consulting,
and the Mitsubishi Research Institute (MRI)
of Japan. This three-way partnership provides ERA with a truly global perspective on key issues.
