 :In addition to its networking and think tank role, the Stockholm Network operates a commercial consultancy firm called Market House International Ltd. According to the Stockholm Network website, Market House International is "host to the Stockholm Network". Market House International Ltd describes itself as "an ideas and public policy consultancy". Staff include key people from the Stockholm Network headquarters and [[Nicole Gray Conchar]] from the [[International Policy Network]] (IPN). The presence of this commercial consulting arm creates further confusion about the Network's funding and web of influence. For example, is it Market House International Ltd. or the Stockholm Network that organises 'think tank tours' and other outreach to promote prominent neoliberal figures like [[Johan Norberg]]? Beyond the Stockholm Network, Market House International also works for "a range of corporate and other clients, providing background research, advice and expertise in the public policy sphere." The complex web of interaction and financing only acts to further emphasise the need for financial transparency which details how much funding comes to which institutions and for what purpose<ref>CEO, [http://archive.corporateeurope.org/stockholmnetwork.html Covert industry funding fuels the expansion of radical rightwing EU think tanks], ''Corporate Europe Observatory'', July 2005</ref>.
