A look at how we defend interests and build coalitions on complex, high-stakes files.
Carmeuse is a major lime producer — an activity involving both quarrying (heavy on stakeholder engagement and permitting) and lime production (which generates unavoidable CO₂, demanding attention to climate and energy policy). Our Managing Partner Philippe Putman helped Carmeuse structure relationships with its stakeholders from local and state level to the EU, ensuring its voice was heard on ETS, CCUS, the Net Zero Industry Act, the Renewable Energy Directive and the wider EU Green Deal — while also handling press relations and relations with foreign embassies in Brussels.

Publicea, represented by Philippe Putman, took up the challenge. With major impact on Belgian beverage consumers, the project triggers intense debate among sectors, the political world and the public. Philippe's task: ensure it is well understood and, ultimately, accepted across a complex puzzle of stakeholders.
slimstatiegeld.be →A large multinational manufacturer — spanning production, R&D, a holding structure and service activities — needed a single, clear view of the policy landscape shaping its business across its key markets. Publicea built a full, AI-supported 360° lobby dashboard covering the EU, the United States and China, mapping the regulatory files, institutions and stakeholders that matter to each activity. AI is used to continuously monitor and surface relevant legislative developments across all three jurisdictions, so nothing is missed. The result gives the group's leadership one place to track developments, anticipate risk and prioritise advocacy — turning a fragmented, multi-market policy picture into a single structured, actionable overview.
A Belgian SME wanted to enter and grow in the defence market. Publicea guided the company end to end: mapping the relevant stakeholders and opportunities, defining a clear strategy and a tactical-level roadmap, and supporting both outreach and tendering — while also identifying R&D opportunities to strengthen its position. Today the company is a respected Belgian defence partner for critical systems.
