The IGES companies
Research, development and consulting for public infrastructures
Founded in 1980, the IGES Institute is at the heart of the IGES Group. IGES scientists provide comprehensive expertise and tools for informed decisions in political, administrative and business circles and for service providers. We come up with creative solutions for questions of supply, quality, financing and the shaping of competition within public infrastructures and services.
For more than 40 years, the activities of the IGES Institute have been grounded on the high standard of its professional expertise. Against this backdrop, we enjoy broad access to data sources both in-house and in other institutions. All issues brought to our attention are dealt with on the basis of robust data and facts, and analysed using the best methods available.
The IGES Institute is registered as a German limited liability company (GmbH) and is entirely owned by scientists who are themselves very active within the company.

Concepts initially developed in just one area of public services can be transposed to other areas of public infrastructure. This results in the mutual generation of new creative impulses. In addition, a holistic perspective is called for designing public areas. Integrative approaches are essential, especially when it comes to modernising services and products for healthcare, nursing care, education, transport or housing, to raising their efficiency or to aligning them with environmental policy requirements.
In recent years, the IGES Institute has, therefore, continuously expanded its range of services and brought in companies from Germany and other European countries, including France, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
This is how the IGES Group saw the light of day. Today, it constitutes a network of highly specialised companies in Europe that are primarily active in the field of healthcare, but also in other areas of public infrastructure such as transport, housing or education.
