POLITICO Europe is the European edition of the American news organization Politico reporting on the European Union. Its headquarters are located in Brussels with additional offices in London, Berlin, Warsaw, Paris, and Frankfurt[1].

In September 2014, Politico formed a joint venture with German publisher Axel Springer SE to launch its European edition.[2][3] In December 2014, the joint venture announced its acquisition of Development Institute International, a leading French conference business, and European Voice, a European political newspaper previously part of the Economist Group, to be relaunched under the Politico brand.[4] [5]

Among the participants of the launch event on April 21, 2015, was President of the European Council Donald Tusk and then President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz.[6]

POLITICO Europe debuted with its first print issue two days later, on April 23, 2015.[7]

The main sources of revenue are advertising, event sponsorship and paid subscriptions with nearly half coming from the subscription business.[8]

POLITICO Pro

POLITICO Pro is a premium politics and policy news service that launched in 2015[9][10]. The newsletter based subscriptions cover different policy areas such as Agriculture and Food, Financial Services, Healthcare, Trade, Energy and Climate, Technology and Transportation. There are also products that are less industry focused but instead provide information on a certain topic like Brexit, sustainability, data and digitization, the EU Budget or competition. In April 2018 POLITICO Europe added DataPoint, a research platform that gives subscribers access to presentations and analysis about topics from various policy areas, to its subscription portfolio.[11]

POLITICO Pro’s paid offerings reach 45.000 subscribers.[12] Subscription prices start at 7000 euros a year, but can also be in the high five-digit range. [13]

In July 2018, POLITICO Europe announced the acquisition of technology from Statehill Inc, and the subsequent launch of a data-driven information Platform, Pro Intelligence.[14][15][16]
