What Makes Arq Different?
Arq is a Brussels-based think tank focused on preparing Europe and the world for transformative AI.
An Institutional Method
We combine technical understanding of frontier AI with deep knowledge of governance to support policymakers through analysis, policy design, strategic convening, and direct engagement.
A Strong Track Record
Our team has advised senior policymakers, contributed to several European AI strategies, and produced research cited in official EU documents.
Our Team
We are an interdisciplinary team of researchers, policy professionals, and operators who came together around a shared conviction: that Europe's preparation for advanced AI systems is too important to leave to chance.
We combine backgrounds in mathematics, philosophy, economics, engineering, public administration, and AI governance, and we have worked across think tanks, Member State governments, EU institutions, and leading universities before joining Arq.
