Health Expertise
Health is one of the most complex and rapidly evolving policy areas, shaped by innovation, demographic change, and shifting governance at EU and global levels. Satellite helps clients navigate this landscape with deep sector expertise and policy insight.
The consultancy works across a wide range of therapeutic areas - including oncology, neurology, rare diseases, and more—advising on how EU and global regulations impact access and development.
It support clients in shaping policy on diagnostics, ATMPs, digital health, and data governance, guiding them through key files like the AI Act, EHDS, and MDR.
The Advisory works on regulatory and market access spans IP, pricing, and reimbursement, with a focus on evolving EU institutions and global actors.
Satellite also advises on women’s health policy, helping clients align with strategies like the EU Gender Equality Strategy and address gender gaps in healthcare.
As health systems face growing pressures and accelerating reforms, Satellite Consultancy helps clients anticipate change, align strategically, and engage effectively.
Beyond Health: Cross-Sector Engagement
While grounded in health, the work of Satellite extends to high-impact areas where policy, society, and technology converge:
Sustainability - it advises on EU and global frameworks like the CSRD and EU Taxonomy, guiding ESG strategies, PFAS compliance, and environmental risk to build transparency and long-term value.
Animal Welfare - With rising regulatory pressure across sectors, it helps clients assess risk and align with evolving EU and national animal welfare standards.
International Affairs - From geopolitical tensions to disrupted supply chains, it helps clients understand global risks and develop resilient, responsible strategies.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) - It supports clients in navigating the regulatory and ethical landscape of AI, especially in health-related applications.
Satellite's Mission
Satellite’s mission is built around three core goals:
Navigate and monitor the policy landscape - Like its namesake, Satellite scans the horizon to help clients stay ahead of regulatory, political, and societal shifts at both EU and global levels.
Empower through insight and training - Just as a satellite processes the data it collects, the consultancy provides strategic analysis, tailored briefings, and capacity-building sessions to equip our clients with the clarity and confidence needed to understand the context and anticipate the impact of emerging trends.
Connect and influence - Just as satellites enable global connectivity, it acts as a bridge between stakeholders, designing and delivering targeted advocacy campaigns, organizing high-impact events, and supporting strategic communications to foster collaboration and drive change.
Through these pillars, Satellite empowers organisations across the health ecosystem and beyond to operate with greater foresight, relevance, and influence. The consulting firm acts as a trusted advisor, helping clients anticipate change, engage strategically, and lead with purpose in an increasingly complex and fast-evolving environment.
