In 2018 Italy’s top think tank and management consulting firm, The European House – Ambrosetti and the Mahanakorn Partners Group (MPG) entered into a partnership to enhance and complement the range of corporate services that each brings to the table in support of multinational enterprises in their Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs).
The European House – Ambrosetti is a leading Italian management consulting firm. Established in 1965, it is headquartered in Milan and has a network of foreign offices and business partnerships in 16 countries around the world, with a strong presence in Asia. Each year, The European House – Ambrosetti provides its 1,000 domestic and international clients (private and public sector) with strategy and management consulting services. Each year the firm develops hundreds of strategic and industrial scenarios, deploying policy and strategic research activities in synergy with a network of experts (ranging from academia to research and other institutions) at the highest international level. The European House – Ambrosetti is one of the leading cross-border M&A operations, family business and governance systems companies in Europe. The University of Pennsylvania’s 2018 Global Go-To Think Tanks Report, for the 6th consecutive year, recognized the European House – Ambrosetti as the number one private think tank in Italy, as one of the top ten in Europe and as one of the world’s top one-hundred independent think tanks (of 8,100 globally). The firm organizes more than 300 events per year, actively involving more than 10,000 business leaders and 2,000 political leaders, as well as international experts and gurus. The European House – Ambrosetti’s flagship forum ‘Intelligence on The World, on Europe, on Italy’ (‘Villa d’Este Forum’), which has been held since 1975, is one of Europe’s most important gatherings of top executives.
The objective of The European House Ambrosetti-MPG Alliance is for each firm to enhance the other’s economic activities by providing international investors and enterprises with support and advisory services, in particular: research, scenarios and strategic studies; international forums and workshops (such as the “High-Level Dialogue on ASEAN-Italy Economic Relation” initiative); assistance to European and North American companies for their FDIs in Asia Pacific and assistance to Asia Pacific companies with their westbound FDIs. The alliance between the two firms has allowed both to expand horizontally, gaining access to new markets, and vertically, expanding the scope of services both can offer.
