What MICUS Strategieberatung does

MICUS Strategieberatung GmbH is a Düsseldorf-based professional services consultancy founded in 2000 that specializes in digital infrastructure planning for the German public sector and telecommunications market. The firm operates a nine-service portfolio spanning the full lifecycle of broadband and fiber optic expansion projects: network planning and conception (Netzplanung), funding advisory (Förderberatung), procurement and tender support (Ausschreibungsbegleitung), construction supervision and documentation (Baubegleitung), network valuation and M&A due diligence (Netzbewertung), mobile network strategy and measurement (Mobilfunkstrategie), municipal heat planning (Wärmeplanung), value creation and quality assurance, and network level 4 (Netzebene 4) consulting. The company does not develop proprietary software platforms; instead, it monetizes deep domain expertise accumulated across 300+ broadband projects and 175+ served municipalities and districts, accompanying more than €4 billion in infrastructure investment since inception.

The firm's revenue model is professional services consulting on a quote-based, project-fee structure tailored to engagement scope and complexity. It operates with 11-50 employees from a single headquarters in Düsseldorf, distributing services exclusively through direct enterprise and B2G field sales to municipalities, districts, federal and state governments, telecom operators (Deutsche Glasfaser, 1&1 Versatel, sewikom, Breitband Nordhessen GmbH), and municipal utilities (Stadtwerke Hürth). Notable marquee engagements include co-leading the Competence Center for Digital Infrastructure for Land NRW alongside EY, conducting Germany's largest-ever market exploration procedure for Land Berlin's subsidized broadband expansion, and serving as the first framework agreement partner for fiber funding in Thuringia with over 25 procedures. The firm is also active in thought leadership, publishing the 2025 Gigabit Funding Study that identifies up to €18 billion in future funding demand across German regions.
