Broad incumbents

• Carnegie Europe: Carnegie Europe is the Brussels-based European arm of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, producing high-profile analysis on European geopolitics, security, and economics. It is comparable to Blue Europe as a publishing think tank addressing policymakers in Europe, though at a substantially larger scale and with global institutional backing.
• Bruegel: Bruegel is a Brussels-based economics think tank producing influential analysis on European economic policy, industrial strategy and energy. It overlaps with Blue Europe on economy, energy, sustainability and technology themes and serves a similar EU-level policy audience, though at a much larger scale and with an economics-only mandate.
• European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR): ECFR is a pan-European foreign policy think tank with a pan-continental network of offices and a much larger research staff. It overlaps with Blue Europe on European policy analysis, geopolitics and EU institutional engagement, but operates at a significantly broader geographic and thematic scope.
• IISS (International Institute for Strategic Studies): IISS is a London-based global think tank producing authoritative analysis on international security, geopolitics and strategic studies. It is comparable to Blue Europe only at the margin as a publisher of strategic analyses addressing European and CEE security themes, but operates at substantially larger scale and global scope.

Direct peers

• Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS): CEPS is a leading Brussels-based think tank producing policy analysis on EU economic, regulatory and foreign policy. It is comparable to Blue Europe as a multi-thematic European policy research outfit that publishes briefs, reports and books for EU institutional and corporate audiences.
• European Policy Institute Network (EPIN): EPIN is a network of European policy institutes delivering analytical input to EU institutional debates on integration, governance and economic policy. It is comparable to Blue Europe as a multi-country European policy research consortium publishing joint analytical outputs for EU audiences.
• Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies: The Wilfried Martens Centre is a Brussels-based political foundation associated with the European People's Party producing European policy analysis, briefs and books. It overlaps with Blue Europe as a European-focused think tank publishing across policy, governance and international relations themes for an EU institutional audience.
• European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE): ECIPE is a Brussels-based trade and international political economy think tank producing policy-oriented studies for EU institutions and business. It is comparable to Blue Europe as a relatively small but specialised European policy research outfit producing monographs, briefs and reports on trade, technology and industrial policy.
• GLOBSEC: GLOBSEC is a Central and Eastern Europe-focused think tank based in Bratislava, producing policy analysis on European security, resilience, and competitiveness. It is the closest direct peer to Blue Europe given the shared CEE focus, multi-thematic research portfolio, and convening role at European forums.

Regional players

• European Liberal Forum (ELF): ELF is a Brussels-based European political foundation affiliated with the ALDE party, producing EU-level policy briefs, studies and event programmes. It overlaps with Blue Europe as a smaller European political foundation publishing policy analysis and convening policy events at the EU level, though serving primarily liberal-party aligned audiences.
