You should be doing something, but what?

Is advocacy, or government relations, necessary for your business at this time?  And most importantly, will it pay off?   No one wants to waste time or effort on unsustainable or unlikely outcomes. Simply stated, government relations may be necessary for a targeted short term effort, or for the long term, depending on your business needs and objectives. 

BioEconomy Partners does not believe in any company wasting time or resources on unfeasible or stagnant government relations efforts. 

Do you need to advocate for your business objectives?

As an efficiency measure, we work first to thoroughly understand your business objectives.  We don't make assumptions about your business needs based on the industry at large, political landscape or government funding opportunities.

We seek to answer key threshold questions early on, for a clear determination of possible advocacy objectives.  For example:

• What are your competitor’s doing  in this area?
• Does your business qualify for any government programs?
• What is an appropriate strategy?
• What are the actions needed to expedite your objectives?
• What   governments around the globe have policy relevant to your business objectives?
• Will they expedite immediate business objectives?

To clear away the grey areas, clarify the purpose and process of government relations, and provide viable ways to expedite your technology deployment, BioEconomy Partners can provide an economical Policy, Programing, Opportunities & Strategy Report  for your team. This will identify relevant policy and funding opportunities that can be pursued both in the immediate and long term.  An additional section will provide a recommended government relations strategy and will serve as a global roadmap for immediate activity. It will set expectations for future efforts, and determine if ongoing, long term advocacy is necessary.

Policy, Programing, Opportunities & Strategy Report includes:

• An overview of congressional legislative programing affecting your business;
• An assessment of USDA, DOE, SBA and other relevant local and state agency funding opportunities;
• A global sweep of relevant programs for deployment overseas;
• A brief overview of relevant overarching policy drivers;
• Information on effective membership organizations, and how to leverage membership effectively;
