sectors
Lykke Advice covers a broad range of sectors
We can help you shape your organisation’s research into concrete policies across a broad range of sectors.
Agriculture
Growing consumer interest is shaping the EU’s agricultural and aquacultural agenda. NGOs, industry stakeholders, and MEPs are increasingly calling for scientifically grounded legislation.
Upcoming changes will have a significant impact on livestock production and the wider supply chain, particularly affecting SMEs, which make up nearly 99% of the 1.3 million firms in the transport and storage sector.
Lykke Advice offers expertise in agriculture, environmental standards, biodiversity, and international trade policy, supporting stakeholders in navigating regulatory developments and sectoral challenges.
TRANSPORT & MOBILITY
The EU’s mobility agenda for 2019–2024 was shaped by the adoption of the European Green Deal, which tasked the EU with reducing transport emissions by 90% by 2050. However, sustainability was not the only focus of this mandate, with significant emphasis also placed on efficiency, safety, and military mobility. Strengthening the EU’s ability to move personnel, equipment, and resources across borders efficiently has become a strategic priority, complementing civilian transport infrastructure and enhancing resilience.
In the years ahead, the importance of these topics is expected to continue, particularly for SMEs, which employ approximately 55% of the EU workforce in the transport sector and whose crucial role in the value chain is anticipated to grow.
Lykke Advice can provide support in the endeavor to create a sustainable, smart, safe, and resilient transport network, offering specific expertise in areas such as weight and dimensions, CO2 standards, and military mobility regulations.
ROBOTICS
The robotics industry is rapidly evolving, driven by advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and digital connectivity. Emerging technologies are reshaping manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, and service sectors, creating new opportunities while introducing complex regulatory and safety challenges.
Both large manufacturers and SMEs must navigate evolving EU legislation, including the AI Act, Machinery Directive, EMC Directive, and product safety regulations, to remain competitive, innovative, and compliant. Cross-border trade and ethical considerations further add to the complexity of operating in this sector.
Lykke Advice provides strategic support across the robotics value chain, offering expertise in regulatory compliance, standards and certifications, product safety, eco-design, and international trade policy, helping stakeholders turn technological and regulatory change into a competitive advantage.
Sustainability & Circular Economy
Over the last year, “circular economy” went from being a buzzword in the EU bubble to becoming a cross-sectoral priority affecting trade, climate, industry, energy, environment and digital policies. Navigating this complex issue can prove to be extremely difficult, especially as new proposals stemming from the Circular Economy Action Plan will have a significant impact on supply chains across industrial sectors. Lykke Advice can help you to understand, anticipate and influence these developments thanks to experience in policy areas such as sustainable production and consumption, product policy and raw materials.
EdTech
The EU’s education and training sector is experiencing an unprecedented pace of digitalisation, opening up opportunities for more tailored and flexible teaching methods. This is the core of the Digital Education Action Plan.
However, as a new industry, EU EdTech still faces significant challenges, primarily fragmentation and scaling issues. Addressing them will be key to make the vision of inclusive and innovative digital education a reality.
Lykke Advice is committed to contributing to this effort, with its deep expertise in the regulatory framework of this policy area.
Energy:
The journey towards climate neutrality by 2050 is a fundamental component of the European Green Deal. To achieve this ambitious objective, numerous policies have been adopted to facilitate a transition to a more sustainable energy system.
Nonetheless, as the main source of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU, the energy sector is set to experience significant transformations in the coming decades. Additional measures to guarantee energy security, independence, and affordability will be introduced, complemented by further initiatives to encourage the transition from fossil fuels to low-carbon and renewable energy sources.
Lykke Advice stands ready to assist companies, particularly smaller businesses, in navigating these future policies. Our aim is to ensure that no one is left behind and that the industry is truly resilient in the face of these changes.
Health and pharmaceuticals
The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the strengths and flaws of the EU architecture as it applies to healthcare policy. As the EU builds stronger and more resilient prevention and preparedness mechanisms, several opportunities are opening up for stakeholders in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries, from joint advance purchase agreements of medicines and medical equipment to new funding opportunities and public-private partnerships. Moreover, the EU will work to develop a more competitive, modern and equitable pharmaceutical market, making it more accessible for patients and richer in opportunities for businesses. Lykke Advice can help you identify and grasp the opportunities that best suit your organisation’s interests.
Climate adaptation
Climate change is increasingly impacting European societies, economies, and infrastructure, making climate adaptation a central priority for governments, businesses, and communities. Effective adaptation strategies are critical to reducing risks from extreme weather, rising temperatures, and other climate-related hazards.
Both public authorities and private stakeholders must navigate evolving EU legislation, including the EU Adaptation Strategy, the EU Climate Law, the Floods Directive, the Water Framework Directive, and the Nature Restoration Law, to ensure resilience, compliance, and sustainable development.
Lykke Advice supports stakeholders in designing and implementing robust climate adaptation strategies, offering expertise in risk assessment, regulatory compliance, ecosystem-based solutions, urban resilience, and cross-sectoral policy coordination, helping clients turn climate challenges into opportunities for sustainable growth.
