Our Projects

Deep-Tech Evaluations
Selecting high-impact women-led start-ups
An investment consortium who backs women founders in AI, biotech and advanced materials asked BLYSS to evaluate 46 proposals on feasibility, traction and societal benefit. Twelve ventures received initial funding and bespoke investor-readiness feedback. Case in point for Field-Scan & Navigator Briefs: rapid landscaping, clear action options.

Real-Time Impact for Skincare
20 % sales lift, Scope-3 data in one view
Digital sales of a hypoallergenic skincare line were flat. Over 18 months BLYSS worked with the team to clarify objectives—customer trust, dermatologist endorsement, lower carbon intensity—then built an impact dashboard pulling live e-commerce data and Scope-3 indicators. Cross-functional “green squads” used the same metrics; in total, online revenue rose 20 % and the dashboard template became standard for future launches. A good example of our Impact Assessment-as-a-Service.

€4 B Close-to-Market Strategy
Moving 4 000 eco-innovations from lab to market
An EU Eco-Innovation Fund had a portfolio of pilots but limited pathways to scale. BLYSS created the Close-to-Market Strategy: a readiness score for each project, a light incubation toolkit and clearer follow-up milestones. Since adoption, roughly €4 billion has flowed to recycled materials, municipal waste systems and efficient street lighting; many of the beneficiaries have secured follow-on finance. A good case of our Co-Funding Syndicate Facilitation—multiple funders, pooled vehicles, shared governance.

EU Social-Economy Census
Hard numbers that shaped a continental action plan
In 2021 the European Commission needed reliable data on Europe’s social-economy organisations. BLYSS designed a multilingual census of 6 000 co-ops, mutuals and social enterprises, then built an interactive dashboard that let policymakers filter results by sector, region and legal form. Five structural gaps emerged—capital access, digital capacity, governance, talent, cross-border trade—and the findings fed directly into the Social Economy Action Plan 2021–27. The project illustrates our Mission-Aligned Portfolio Lab: evidence dossiers, a scoring matrix and a bias-aware decision summit that turns data into policy.

Pacific 2050 Governance Workshops
Budget rules fit for small-island realities
Four pacific islands needed budget processes that could handle climate shocks and limited funds. BLYSS convened participatory focus groups, synthesised option papers and co-hosted treasury workshops. Improving accountability for ≈500 000 residents. Demonstrates our Adaptive Governance Studio – rapid diagnostics and charter redesign.

Plastic-Free Oral-Care Supply Chain
80 % less plastic, 5 % market share gained
A Germany company wanted to eliminate plastic tubes. BLYSS re-engineered sourcing 14 eco-friendly inputs with EU suppliers and built a phased market roll-out. Annual plastic waste fell 80 % and the brand captured 5 % segment share, winning a national eco-award. Shows how an Impact Dashboard plus Adaptive Governance can drive manufacturing change.

Sustainability Leadership Lab
Bringing science into the boardroom
Senior leaders at a German investment company lacked up-to-date sustainability knowledge. BLYSS delivered a two-series training for 100 executives, blending EU policy briefings with climate-science sessions. Post-programme surveys show 87 % now include ESG risk in capital-allocation memos, and two business units tied bonuses to emissions targets. Highlights the Outcome Learning Partnership logic—capacity-building plus sense-making.

Youth Entrepreneurship Kick-Off
Policy and practice meet for next-gen founders
A regional policy organisational and a multilateral youth agency lacked a cohesive framework for youth entrepreneurship. BLYSS hosted the launch workshop, provided evidence briefs and drafted programme options that now anchor a regional initiative. Proof that Mission-Aligned Portfolio Lab scales from local to continental youth programmes.

Regional Development Institute Turnaround
Governance overhaul doubles deal size
A development institute in Asia faced whistle-blower gridlock and slow approvals. BLYSS ran a Governance Health Check, rewrote charters and installed bias check-lists. Within three years average deal value rose 200 % and staff engagement scores improved. A clear example of our Adaptive Governance Studio.

Project Evaluations
Trustworthy internet tech across the Atlantic
An EU-North America funding consortium sought projects on data sovereignty and decentralised web tools. BLYSS assessed proposals for technical soundness and policy fit; selected projects now pilot secure data exchange and scalable DApps. Illustrates Field-Scan & Navigator Briefs in a fast tech context.

Suicide-Prevention Programme Review
Evidence base for post-COVID resilience
A US mental-health network needed to know which initiatives worked. BLYSS evaluated programmes, identified gaps and recommended updates; the board adopted new metrics and resource allocations within the year. Demonstrates our Outcome Learning Partnership—turning data into forward moves.
