This hub provides strategic frameworks used to navigate the global technological competition which defines modern great power rivalry. We focus on identifying regions of future strategic importance, securing high-value infrastructure in contested domains. Our analysis informs specialized methodology, strategic foresight, simulations, and wargaming, which stress test emerging policy to ensure policymakers are equipped to address the escalating challenges of tech-driven geopolitical dominance.

Within this hub

Research nodes

Strategic Simulations

The Strategic Simulations node utilizes geostrategic simulations and advanced wargaming methodologies to test policy assumptions and reveal emerging risks. We engage directly with global security partners, including the U.S. Congress, NORAD and NORTHCOM, the U.S. Air Force Academy, NATO partners and the British Royal Navy, to model scenarios and deliver actionable, data-driven insights. Our objective is to move beyond theoretical analysis into practical, strategic decision support.

Arctic Security

The Arctic Security node focuses on strategic competition in the High North, examining the security of critical infrastructure like subsea cables, military basing and ports. We host high-level policy engagement to bridge academic research with global policy needs. Our work delivers tailored insights on navigating this rapidly evolving geopolitical domain.
