European Business Review

What European Business Review does

European Business Review is an international political-economical-business magazine published by EMG Strategic Consulting Ltd., a UK private limited company headquartered in Knightsbridge, London. Founded in 1997, the publication is built around a flagship printed edition supplemented by a website (europeanbusinessreview.eu), a digital edition hosted on Issuu, an email newsletter, and a Web TV channel. Content is organized across Europe, World, Business, Management, Analyses, EU Actually, Dossiers, and Interviews, with editorial series such as the SuperClan Series on family businesses, 'Retailing Years', and 'Extrait de Culture'. The magazine claims a contributor base of politicians, journalists, academics, and business leaders.

Distribution is a defining operational feature: physical copies are placed in Lufthansa, Swiss, and EvaAir business class lounges, premium hotel lobbies, and major European conferences and events, alongside direct delivery to CEOs, directors of large companies, and government and institutional subscribers. The company operates with approximately six employees and reports no funding history or parent-company structure. Revenue is generated primarily through advertising and sponsorship, with a secondary stream from paid subscriptions to the printed edition; pricing for both is not publicly disclosed and is handled via a Media Kit on request. A Greek-language edition (europeanbusiness.gr) signals limited localization beyond the English-language core.
