What Visionary Analytics does

Visionary Analytics, UAB is a private research institute headquartered in Vilnius, Lithuania, founded in 2012, operating as a distributed remote-first organisation with a small headquarters office. The firm provides applied policy research, evaluation, and consulting services to European Union institutions (including multiple Directorates-General of the European Commission and committees of the European Parliament), international organisations such as the OECD, World Bank, and United Nations, and national governments, with particular depth in Lithuania and other EU Member States. Its work is organised around seven expertise areas: Innovation, Research and Development; Education and Human Capital; Digitalisation; Labour Market and Social Affairs; Green Economy and Sustainability; Future-fit Governance; and Social Sciences Research and Methodology.

The firm's principal productised asset is Vacancy Analytics, an in-house big-data tool that delivers real-time information on labour-market demand to support skills and employment analyses. It is also a partner in the AI4POL (AI for Policy) Horizon Europe project, contributing to AI tools and data-science methods for monitoring, evaluating and improving the impact of legislation, with a focus on consumer protection and financial-sector analysis. Underlying methodological capabilities include statistical and econometric analysis, structural equation modelling, web scraping, text mining, bibliometric analysis, and counterfactual analysis.

Visionary Analytics generates revenue through project-based professional services, winning work via competitive EU procurement tenders, direct contract negotiations, and formal framework contracts with the European Parliament and the European Commission. It delivers multi-country studies (for example, the European Innovation Scoreboard and Regional Innovation Scoreboard 2024-2027 and the REMAKING Horizon Europe project across seven countries) typically in consortium with academic and research partners such as Tilburg University, Technical University of Munich, University of East Anglia's Centre for Competition Policy, Ecorys, Austrian Institute of Technology, VTT, and others. Quantified client-side outcomes referenced in evaluations include over 138,000 scientific publications and more than 7,000 patents supported through ERDF RTDI evaluation work, more than 75,500 enterprises supported for collaboration with research institutions, and a finding that 72% of EU/EEA publications are available through open access.
