Providing strategic assistance 

ERA's advice in the form of briefings, analyses, studies, and reports are used by major multinational corporations in planning and implementing business strategies, as well as by governments and international policy making authorities such as the European Union and its institutions, the World Bank, UN bodies and the European Space Agency. Private sector clients have included Reuters, Renault, Fiat, Toyota, Matsushita, Toshiba, Philips, France Telecom, and other leading international corporations.

 

ERA's independence

European Research Associates is a limited company, wholly owned by its managing partners, thereby ensuring its professional and financial independence. The company has a record of steady growth.

 

State-of-the-art technology

As regards facilities, we consider advanced office and communications technology for our own use as essential to the provision of the best possible service to our clients. This includes a local area network (LAN), a permanent high-speed connection to the internet, and modern Windows-based software.

 

Eurostrategies

 

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.

 

A global partnership

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.

 

A committed staff

Our reputation has been achieved through the quality and experience of ERA's personnel. Committed to providing a high quality and reliable service, each consultant works on a limited number of projects and cultivates close working links with his or her clients.
