History, location and staff
NIRAS Germany GmbH is a result of the 2012 merger of IP Consult, a firm well-established in the German market, and NIRAS International Consulting. On 11 November 2024, NIRAS joined forces with Syspons, a German-based management, strategy and evaluation consultancy, to form a leading development and strategy consultancy brand. This partnership aims to strengthen both companies’ market positions, particularly in Germany and in the fields of development, monitoring and evaluation (M+E), data-driven strategy and organisational change consulting.
