Spaak is an artificial intelligence company that has developed the first operational platform designed specifically for professionals in public affairs, institutional relations, and regulation. Founded in Copenhagen in January 2024, Spaak centralizes and streamlines access to political and legislative data so that professionals in the sector can devote their time to what really matters: strategic thinking and relationship-building. The platform offers research tools, real-time legislative tracking, monitoring of key stakeholders, and an AI assistant capable of generating working documents tailored to each organization’s tone and approach—all on a secure infrastructure with servers in Europe. With a team of developers, operations staff, and industry experts in Copenhagen and Brussels, and backed by the Nordic funds Node.vc and J12 Ventures, Spaak is transforming the way the public affairs sector works with political and legislative information in Europe.

The Brussels School of Governance is a leading hub for interdisciplinary teaching and innovative research. We strive to understand and help address the major societal challenges of our time — from migration and diversity to digital and green transitions, climate change, the evolving global economy, and geopolitical competition. Through our daytime and evening programmes in European policy and governance, law, international relations, diplomacy and business, we link academic excellence with policy practice. Designed for both students and professionals, our programmes foster a community committed to understanding and shaping Europe’s evolving policy landscape.

Dixit is the AI-powered platform built for public affairs operations. It streamlines the complex navigation of institutions, enabling professionals to act with clarity, speed and impact.

By bridging the gap between stakeholders and policymakers, it fosters more informed, effective engagement and, ultimately, better policy outcomes.
