We live today in a highly volatile world. Uncertainties for tomorrow abound. The world we knew is already gone. Yet, the future emerges both quickly and slowly. Changes appear to be very rapid, yet sometimes they surprise us with a pace that is not so fast.
The world is the theatre of heightening tensions. Threats abound. Insecurity spreads. War has come back. The impacts of human activity on the planet and beyond create immense challenges and completely novel geopolitical stakes.
How can we make sense of this changing world that could also become inhospitable? How can we take good decisions for the future? How can we anticipate, repair, adapt?

With an additional focus on the shares of reserves and resources of actors. This powerful tool allows you to visualise and analyse geopolitical influence and company exposure to geopolitics in the uranium mining sector. Its companion report includes 12 use cases and their analysis.
AI Assistants
We experiment with AI integration and share with you. For example, Aria, Calvin, Kai, Regina, Sphinx, and Pithia help you with indicators, scenarios, geopolitics, cascading impacts.
Our philosophy is to help you meet the need for strategic foresight and early warning in a world of complex uncertainties.
Our Expertise
An understanding of geopolitics grounded in knowledge and experience, spearheaded by PhDs
A strong methodology developed by scientists and adapted to complex issues
Imagination, system-thinking and thinking out of the box
Think-Tank and Publications
More than a website, a path to handle geopolitics and uncertainty
To understand this changing world and foresee what could happen, we have a twin approach. We mix methodology as well as research and analysis on real world issues with geopolitical and international security stakes.
We publish these articles here on the website to help you discover strategic foresight, early warning besides geopolitical issues and their stakes.
If you are new to geopolitics and strategic foresight and warning, the video we created as a trailer for our training will give you some first introductory insight.
