In 2022 Visionary Analytics celebrated its 10th anniversary! Take a look at the overview of our 2022 achievements, highlights, and contributions to the wider societal impact.
2022 highlights
10 years of Knowledge for Impact
Originally established as an institute specialising in innovation and education policy, over the 10 years our expertise has spread to at least seven policy areas and is deployed on a multidisciplinary basis. These 10 years of growth, togetherness, and #KnowledgeforImpact have been possible thanks to our greatest asset – the Visionaries. We are truly grateful to all our partners for productive cooperation and to our clients for trust as we have had grand opportunities contributing to excellence and value creation in so many policy sectors internationally.
Being at the forefront of EU policy
While remaining a boutique company that values excellence, we invest in long lasting partnerships and international networks of experts, now securing a strong position in more than 10 Framework Contracts with the European Commission, OECD, and European Parliament. In 2022 we led and contributed to about 40 projects on policies of tremendous impact across the EU, from algorithmic management to telework and platform work, from school education by 2040 to EU space technologies, from EU missions to open science, and many more!
Crossing borders and strengthening our team
As we are committed to making a difference in the world, we are also creating a work culture that inspires and breeds constant learning. This year we have ultimately crossed borders and fully transitioned to a hybrid setting in every way starting with international hiring and finishing with making each meeting or event remote friendly. In 2022 our team spoke at least 9 languages and worked from 21 countries! Once again, we have seen the immense effect of our culture that has played a significant role for us to remain one team no matter where and when we are, remotely or in-person – we are united.

Contribution to public discussion
COVID-19 residue and war in Ukraine has shaken everyone’s routine to the core, and ours was no exception. We were quick to adapt, stay focused, and support. Take a look at some of our 2022 activities!
One team
At Visionary Analytics we believe that people and culture are our greatest assets. We also believe that a company of the future is equally profit- and values- driven. Thus, we give our 100 percent to: our clients and employees, business and personal development, autonomy and teamwork, high standards and strong support, upholding strong values and practicing what we preach.
We pursue to advance and promote diversity in our own firm, our clients, and in society more broadly as well as to foster an inclusive culture, where every colleague - regardless of background - feels a deep sense of respect and belonging.
As our team has crossed borders and become distributed, we have dedicated a great deal of attention to maintain our engagement and sense of community. This has been possible through numerous hybrid training events, team temperature sessions, commemorating wins, and otherwise celebrating our team.
In 2022, we:
- Worked from Austria, Lithuania, Germany, Poland, Tunisia, Estonia, Czech Republic, Belgium, Romania, Switzerland, Italy, France, Kazakhstan, Latvia, Mexico, Luxembourg, Nepal, Georgia, Slovenia, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
- Organised a great deal of teambuilding events, including VA10 celebrations and the whole international VA team meeting in Vilnius Lithuania in August 2022!
- Conducted two VA Academies, that included trainings on matrix games, emotional intelligence, research framework creation and more. As well as updated our digital Academy and provided trainings for our Research Managers to invest in successful team management and engagement.
- Launched the Hour of Openness to encourage team discussions, and organised a number of strategic sessions on company strategy and operational improvements.
- Delivered multiple internal initiatives to facilitate the work of our team through new IT solutions, team engagement tools, improving cross-border hiring, and other.
- Dedicated attention to everyone’s professional growth and personal development through mentorship meetings and HR talks.
