STRATEGIC ADVOCACY & Social License for Innovation
Andersson-Bohren Consulting
I help innovative industries move from 'no' to 'how' through expert stakeholder engagement and strategic advocacy.
A Strategic Partner for Innovative Market Entries
Bringing a disruptive innovation to market requires more than just technical excellence—it requires a Social License to Operate. For many companies, hiring a permanent, full-time public and community affairs team for a specific launch or expansion is neither practical nor necessary. I founded Andersson-Bohren Consulting to provide high-impact, project-based expertise exactly when it’s needed most.
Whether you are a Swiss company navigating your first EU project, or an international firm launching a complex technology in a new city, I align your innovation with the political gatekeepers and community stakeholders who hold the keys to your success.
My approach is custom made. I can draft policy papers and provide strategic advocacy advice, but also provide the 'feet on the ground' and the authentic local network your project needs to thrive. I don't replace your team; I amplify and support them.
My methodology
Having led policy and community affairs for Alphabet’s Wing during Europe’s first drone delivery launches, worked with communities in Switzerland, Finland, Ireland, and the UK, with experience working for the EU and national government, I can help move your project from 'no' to 'how'!
My approach is built on lived experience. I have learned that:
- Local presence and real conversations matter.
You cannot build trust from a distance; you need to be on the ground where the impact is felt. - Seeing is believing.
Technical specs and policy papers alone don't win hearts, but live demos and site visits often make all the difference. - Early alignment is vital.
Identifying gatekeepers before you need their approval is the difference between a launch and a delay.
My services
Every engagement is tailor-made to fit your need and resources. It can span from managing your entire advocacy roadmap to offering a short term support for your team. The main service blocks:
Stakeholder Strategy
Identifying the gatekeepers and power players who hold the keys to your project's success.
Policy & Advocacy
Tracking regulatory shifts and translating technical milestones into narratives that resonate with regulators.
Community Affairs
Building the social license you need by addressing community friction before it becomes opposition.
