Schwalba-Hoth releases EU Stakeholder Directory
Frank Schwalba-Hoth, former MEP and co-founder of the German Green Party, launched the EU Stakeholder Directory at the European Parliament last month. The 900-page book is the result of an intense nine-month project by Schwalba-Hoth and his small Brussels team, as well as the Berlin-based publishing house, Lexxion. The aim of the Directory is to help Brussels professionals find their way around the labyrinth of EU institutions, embassies, Europe-wide associations, NGOs, law firms and companies in the capital of Europe.
And Schwalba-Hoth certainly knows Brussels stakeholders. Since his exit from the European Parliament, he has been working as a consultant, a lobbyist, the director of the Brussels office of Greenpeace and the co-founder of the consulting firm Conseiller + Partners, alongside Silvana Koch-Mehrin. Currently he is working as an independent political strategist focusing on civil society, sustainable development, energy policy, development of the EU and instituional matters. Since 2006, he has also been a member of the Right Livelihood Foundation which annually awards the “alternate Nobel-Prize”.
But Schwalba-Hoth is also well-known for his famous International Soirées. He´s been organising these invite-only monthly networking dinners since 1989 in restaurants in the European district. Each time, 60 to 80 guests from different professional, cultural and social backrounds swap tables and share stories. After almost a one-year break, due to the work on the Directory, the soirées will soon resume again. Zsófia Györi
