What Project Tempo does

Project Tempo is a London-headquartered non-profit research organisation founded in 2023 that studies the forces shaping European public opinion on climate, energy, and economic policy. Its flagship EuroPulse programme conducts nationally representative surveys of more than 45,000-50,000 voters annually across 25 European countries, using Multilevel Regression and Poststratification (MRP) methodology to produce granular insights down to over 12,000 local areas. The organisation serves policymakers, NGOs, journalists, and business groups, with dedicated in-country teams in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United Kingdom, plus sector-specific programmes in Agriculture, Energy & Industrial Security, and Nuclear.

The core product portfolio centres on the EuroPulse interactive dashboard, the Tempo Index (a composite cross-country scoring system), country profiles, a Resource Hub of publications, and sub-national tools such as the Italy Regional Dashboard. Underlying technology relies on MRP modelling, structured survey design, and a partner-mediated data collection stack spanning Ipsos, BVA France, BVA Doxa, MARECO, Dynata, Focaldata, and Stonehaven.

The business model is philanthropic: Project Tempo does not generate commercial revenue and provides all research openly and free of charge. The organisation is funded by philanthropic donations, governed by an independent Board with an Advisory Council, and positions itself as non-partisan. Its go-to-market is thought-leadership-driven, relying on direct briefings, webinars, open-access publications, and earned media coverage rather than a sales-led commercial motion.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Ipsos: Global market research and public opinion firm with extensive European polling capabilities. Overlaps with Project Tempo in survey methodology and country coverage, but operates commercially across many industries beyond climate/energy attitudes (and is also a Project Tempo research partner).
• Eurobarometer: Official EU public opinion instrument conducting cross-country surveys across all member states. Comparable in scope (25+ EU countries, policy-relevant topics) but is a public-sector instrument rather than an independent non-profit, and offers less granular sub-national analysis.

Direct peers

• Pew Research Center: Non-partisan, non-profit research organization producing public opinion polling and demographic research. Comparable in mission (open-access, philanthropically funded research informing policy and media) and in its emphasis on consistent, methodologically rigorous cross-country work.
• More in Common: International non-profit research and advocacy organization studying voter attitudes, polarization, and attitudes toward climate and democracy across Europe and the US. Highly comparable mission and methodology, including segmentation work like Project Tempo's 'Forgotten Voter'.
• YouGov: Global commercial polling and research firm running large multi-country voter and consumer surveys across Europe. Directly comparable in methodology (panel-based polling) and cross-country coverage, though YouGov operates commercially rather than as a non-profit.

Emerging players

• Focaldata: UK-based research technology firm offering advanced survey, MRP, and analytics capabilities. Comparable in methodology (especially MRP modeling) and overlap with Project Tempo as a listed research partner; smaller scale but technologically aligned.

Others

• European Policy Centre: Brussels-based think tank producing European policy analysis across multiple sectors including climate and energy. Comparable as a non-profit, policy-focused research organization serving EU policy audiences, though it does not run its own voter polling.
• European Council on Foreign Relations: Pan-European think tank producing policy research and pan-European analysis. Comparable as a multi-country European research organization publishing on energy, climate, and political dynamics, though focused on foreign policy rather than voter attitudes.
• Bertelsmann Foundation: Large German private operating foundation producing cross-country European research on economy, democracy, and sustainability. Comparable as a well-resourced European philanthropic research organization publishing on climate and social cohesion, though it does not specialize in voter polling.
• Chatham House: Royal Institute of International Affairs—leading international affairs think tank. Comparable as a London-headquartered, philanthropically funded research organization publishing on European and global policy issues, and a co-host of Project Tempo webinars; broader thematic remit.
