FiscalNote Opens Industry's Only GRM Platform To European Data Amid Accelerated Global ExpansionFiscalNote, the Washington DC-based company that dramatically improves the way organizations engage with government, today announced that European data sets and custom advisory services will be the first international elements available on the company's industry-leading Government Relationship Management (GRM) platform. The move comes ahead of schedule and was announced during an appearance by FiscalNote cofounder and CEO Tim Hwang at the World Economic Forum meeting here. FiscalNote is a 2016 WEF Technology Pioneer and Hwang is a WEF New Champion. "European interest in the platform has exceeded our expectations so we're accelerating a number of elements of our strategy," said Hwang. "We're taking great care to assemble premium European data sets and custom advisory capabilities, and will be working with select customers over the next 90 days to finalize the extensions." Users will be able to search and filter the new data sets and access to the platform will be granted globally across organizations. Some $15 billion is spent annually on tools supporting legal teams and lobbying in the U.S. Prompted by customer demand, the company is also actively exploring data sets from Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Chile. A comprehensive new release of the FiscalNote GRM platform is scheduled for later this year.
