Broad incumbents

• European Parkinson's Disease Association (EPDA): Pan-European umbrella organization uniting national Parkinson's associations. Relevant as the higher-level entity to which Association Parkinson ASBL would connect for European advocacy, research collaboration, and shared resources.
• Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research: Major US-based research-focused Parkinson's foundation. Comparable as a leading Parkinson's nonprofit but with a much larger funding base and research-grant focus rather than direct patient services.
• American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA): US national Parkinson's organization providing information, support, and research funding. Larger and more established than Association Parkinson ASBL but comparable in mission and service portfolio.
• Parkinson's UK: Large UK charity providing information, local groups, research funding, and campaigning for Parkinson's patients. Comparable as a national membership-driven Parkinson's organization, but materially larger in scope, funding base, and brand recognition.

Direct peers

• Davis Phinney Foundation: US-based Parkinson's nonprofit focused on helping patients live well today through education, programs, and resources. Comparable in its emphasis on quality of life, adapted physical activity, and educational programs for the Parkinson's community.
• France Parkinson: French national Parkinson's patient association offering information, support groups, and advocacy across France. Closely analogous in mission, structure (regional antennas), services (peer support, adapted physical activity, publications), and INAMI-equivalent healthcare system engagement.
• Parkinson Canada: Canadian national Parkinson's charity offering support groups, information, research funding, and advocacy. Comparable as a national membership organization with regional chapters serving Parkinson's patients and caregivers.
• Parkinson Liga Vlaanderen: Belgian counterpart patient association for Flemish-speaking Parkinson's patients. Operates the same patient-support mission in the other linguistic community of Belgium, making it the most directly comparable peer on territory and population.

Emerging players

• ParkinsonNet: Dutch healthcare professional network specializing in integrated Parkinson's care delivery. Relevant as a complementary European model focused on professional care coordination rather than patient advocacy — an adjacent peer offering potential lessons on networked care models.

Regional players

• Deutsche Parkinson Vereinigung (dPV): German national Parkinson's patient association. Comparable in mission and antenna-based structure, but operates in Germany rather than Belgium. Particularly relevant for cross-border collaboration in the German-speaking Community of Belgium served by Association Parkinson ASBL.
