empirica provides research and consultancy enabling our clients in the public and private sectors internationally to succeed in innovation with new information and communication technology.

Demographic change, chronic diseases and personalised care demand new approaches to health and social care delivery. The safety, sustainability, and cost-efficiency of our care systems need to be improved. The application of advanced ICT and medico-technical innovations can make a major contribution towards achieving these goals.

With people living longer than before, but also with changing behaviours and expectations, our society and the place and role of older people in it changes constantly. Care providers, employers and civil society have to keep abreast of those changes. Supporting them in addressing the challenges arising from this is one of our core competencies.

Fostering talent is key to competitiveness and to employment. We help exploit innovation in skills enhancement, design organisational innovations and help policy and private sector clients to match education and training with technological development and evolving requirements of learners and employers.

Inclusive Society

Building a society open for everyone requires a sensitivity for justice, a creative mind and strategic thinking. We help organisations and decision makers to address the challenges of inclusiveness and develop innovative ways and tools to make society more equal.

Research & Innovation

Governments, enterprises and research organisations need to define research and innovation concepts to find solutions for pressing economic and societal challenges. empirica supports R&I actors through collecting and analysing representative data, organising events and developing recommendations for strategic action.

empirica works with cities, utilities, researchers and service providers across Europe on innovative means to improve energy efficiency in public and private buildings. We coordinate large projects and offer evaluation, business analysis and solution consulting.
