Single Market Ventures is a business development consultancy based in Brussels, with a focus on opportunities created by the development of common standards in cross-border trade.

That broad field includes regional and global harmonisation of specifications, conformity assessment, technical regulations or related policies. We go on from that core, to examine wider, related issues of development of business and policy. A major current specialisation is the rapidly expanding field of renewable energy, where harmonised international processes – in technology, government policy, regulation, and business practice – play a central role. The company serves both government and private-sector clients.


 Our Services

Services start with information and analysis, and move on to strategic and operational advice on policy and business development as a top-tier service.

A core multi-client service concentrates on EU-level harmonisation: the Europe-link Information Service on EU Product Approvals offers timely summaries of information, analysis, and easy links to the most relevant free-of-charge and authoritative sources of details. The service is available on subscription, with prices starting at € 500 per year.

Deeper research, as well as advice on policy and business development are individually commissioned. Advice can range from adaptation of current operational programmes to the structuring of wholly new ventures.
