Live across Europe, in cities with more talent, research, craft and historic confidence than almost anywhere else on the planet. The raw material is unmatched. What's missing is the nerve to use it.
Because we believe in the European ideal. In "United in diversity." But also because Europe, politically, is not cutting a fine figure, neither at home nor globally. It is far from being recognised as smart, innovative and resilient.
And yet we are. Especially in our cities. This is where we prove what we can do. Still, cities across Europe, small and big, face similar challenges: too slow, too market-driven, too top-down, too bureaucratic.
But we can change that. Europe can build its strength from within, by connecting its cities and their local expertise to create liveable places and a sustainable, truly cool continent. And this is how Europe becomes more independent: in energy, in technology, in knowledge, in defence, and beyond.
So, let's do this.
Europe doesn't need another policy paper. It needs the confidence to develop again.
Not a magazine. Not an agency. Not another feed. A continental editorial layer with three connected surfaces. Your partnership lands on every surface your buyer touches.
The open knowledge base for Europe's cities. Free, searched, read by everyone.
The open knowledge base for Europe's cities. Free, searched, read.
The editorial flagship. Four issues a year, one continent, one theme per issue.
The working surface where Europe's urban operators get things done.
Europe's cities heat up, on average, 1.7 °C faster than their surroundings. Issue 01 shows which solutions are already working, from building greening to sponge-city design. Documented in concrete examples from Paris, Vienna and Barcelona.
Your launch partnership doesn't stop at the E-Paper. From late June through mid-September 2026, Beat the Heat runs as a coordinated wave across the Alliance E-Paper, as well as in a multi-page Beat the Heat special feature in G+L, topos magazine and BAUMEISTER. Three of Europe's leading city magazines.
Becoming part of the European Urban Future Alliance isn't buying four ad slots. It's stepping into the small group of companies that decided, on day one, to help Europe get its urban confidence back.
Nine things you get that don't fit into a media plan.
Founding Partners can put forward themes and angles for upcoming issues. The newsroom decides, but your input arrives at the right desk before the agenda is set.
Editorial briefings around each issue, logo integration on Founding Partner surfaces, plus the digital editions of the E-Paper and the print specials direct in your inbox.
When the Alliance writes about a topic where your work fits, the newsroom may approach you for a case study. You show up as someone in motion.
Your logo on the Founding Partner Wall is a public statement: we don't sit out Europe's urban decade. Few marketing moves age as well.
Founding Partners receive a written trend briefing as a quarterly mailing. A one-way signal from our newsroom, covering trends across 27 countries before they surface in broader media.
Appearing next to expert voices and reference projects isn't paid placement. Your brand gains the editorial halo that comes from sitting inside real work.
Every issue is archived, indexed and cross-referenced on the Open Web. Your logo stays discoverable, citable and attributable for years.
Every subsequent issue references this Founding cohort. Your company gets named as one of those that showed up when Europe started moving again.
Founding Partners are integrated in the footer of every Alliance newsletter with their logo. Quiet, recurring presence in inboxes that already trust the brand.
Every industrial brand today owns a version of the same regret: we saw it coming and we didn't step in early enough. The Alliance is your chance to fix that story before it gets written.
Every significant media platform has a founding cohort. Later partners buy visibility. Founding partners earn a position that never gets re-issued.
Founding status exists for Issue 01 alone. From Issue 02 onward, the standard rate card applies.
E-Paper plus three trusted European urban print titles. One decision, four appearances across one summer.
Every EU member state receives Issue 01 on the same day, in English, alongside your logo on the Founding Partner Wall.
Every future issue references this Founding cohort. Your position compounds for the decade ahead.
Iconographic. Reduced. Unmistakable. Every cover tells its thesis at a glance and carries it through every spread inside. Built for screens, with linked sources and downloadable datasets.
The Alliance is built and operated by GEORG Media and mi media intelligence. Editorial responsibility stays with the newsroom, technology runs on a European stack. Your brand lands in a structure built to outlast one campaign.
"We publish European urban titles every day. The Alliance is how we finally let them speak to each other in one continental voice, without losing the local depth our readers trust."
"Europe does not need another feed. It needs an editorial layer that is data-driven, technologically durable and trusted by the people who actually build its cities. That is what we are putting in production."
Reach out to the person who feels like the right door for you. Each one knows every detail of Issue 01 and can take you the whole way to a Founding Partnership.
Issue 01 lands on 30.06.2026. The Founding Partner Wall stops accepting names from Issue 02 onward. The shape of this upside only exists once.
