Our company name is derived from the Latin word connexus and its meaning, a connecting structure, is an excellent way of framing our core business. We work with and on behalf of our clients, with the singular purpose of helping them achieve their business objectives. Through our persistent presence and awareness, a deep understanding of decision-making and the stakeholders who make them, we deliver business development, industrial development and public affairs services with an impact.
OUR SERVICES
BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT
Government procurement continues to increase in complexity. There are multiple stakeholder layers and groups to consider. Long, slow cycles and often the perception of less than transparent decision-making from the bidder’s perspective. We work closely with our clients to clear up the landscape, create sound capture plans and effectively engage to shape, position, and win significant government contracts.
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
Whether anchored in bid requirements, or based on a goal to build in-country partnerships, engaging local industry is both an opportunity and a threat. It is a way to stand out in crowded competitive environments, but it often comes with substantial risk of penalties, cost/schedule overruns and even reputational damage. We turn industrial commitments into campaign advantages, with manageable risk profiles.
PUBLIC AFFAIRS
Insight and a clear political strategy are key to every successful campaign. In our dedicated conXus Public Affairs subsidiary, we have extensive experience in helping our clients formulate and achieve their political goals. Our team has worked in and around the core of Danish politics for decades and we maintain a wide and balanced network in both government and opposition parties.
ADVISORY & CONSULTING
Since our company’s founding, we have been entrusted with a wide variety of projects by clients that range from Fortune 50 corporations to small-medium enterprises. This has built deep knowledge and significant experience into the conXus organization. With that and our team’s diverse backgrounds as the platform, we deliver tailored advisory and consulting services.
