Core offering

Prokalos is a boutique strategic consulting firm that delivers integrated advisory services across three interconnected areas: Lobbying and Public Affairs (structured dialogue between institutions, enterprises, and stakeholders to support decision-making on policies and regulations), Strategic Communication (institutional communication integrated into decision-making processes, including press offices, editorial projects, digital communication, and events), and Territorial Intelligence (data-driven analysis of economic and social dynamics to support local and supra-local projects). The firm serves public institutions, enterprises, and intermediate bodies in Italy, with strong presence in Northwest Italy.

Product overview

Prokalos is a boutique strategic consulting firm operating across three interconnected service areas: Lobbying and Public Affairs, Strategic Communication, and Territorial Intelligence. The company does not offer a software product platform but rather delivers consulting services focused on institutional relations, strategic positioning, and data-driven territorial analysis. Adjacent to the core consulting services, Prokalos has developed proprietary tools including the City Vision Score (an innovation measurement indicator for Italian municipalities) and the Digital Excellence Ranking (for BBBell). The company also maintains two spin-offs: Komorebi (ESG advisory services) and PLIN (educational and cultural innovation center). Projects are delivered through tailored, bespoke engagements rather than standardized product offerings.
