Border Profiteers
The Border Profiteers List is a database compiling companies which are involved with and profiting from the European border system. The fortification and externalisation of borders is not only driven by political interests but also by being a source of profit for an array of different companies from producers of surveillance equipment and weapons to concrete and food distribution for camps, consultant companies and research facilities.
The Border Profiteers List is a non-exhaustive and growing resource for civil society actors, researchers and activists. An online form to submit contributions to this list will be available here shortly.
As the Border Profiteers List relies on open and public sources we make no warranties about the completeness of information provided in this list. We also do not assume any legal liability or responsibility for outdated, incorrect, or incomplete information. However, we will address reports of outdated, incorrect, or incomplete information as quickly as possible.
A large proportion of the entries is based on research by the Informationsstelle Militarisierung (Information Centre for Militarisation).
