We are the leading lobbying consultancy in Spain
Founded in 1997, Cariotipo is a leading lobbying and strategic communications consultancy in Spain.
The in-depth understanding of political decision-making processes of our founder, Carmen Mateo, enabled the pioneering development of the first firm in Spain specialized in lobbying and public affairs.
We began our activity in the healthcare sector, one of the most highly regulated industries and one that requires close interaction with Public Administrations and Institutions.
In 2011, Jorge Fernández-Rúa and Pepe Fernández-Rúa took on the challenge of adapting the consultancy to new market demands.
Under their leadership, the firm has combined its accumulated experience with technological evolution and new management approaches, expanding into other highly regulated sectors such as food, environmental sustainability, energy, mobility, education, and defense.
In May 2026, the Spanish consultancy became a partner of FIPRA, the leading global public affairs network, with a presence in more than 50 markets and direct access to the main European decision centers.
The multidisciplinary background of Cariotipo’s team -journalists, economists, lawyers, political scientists, among others- provides a strategic perspective and a comprehensive approach to complex challenges. We are committed to an independent team of highly qualified professionals who operate on the basis of methodology, rigor, and technical expertise.
