Global power.

We analyse global power… across two domains: Earth and Space.

Breaking boundaries

Global strategy for an expanding world

Pillars

How we think about power

We connect global knowledge with local progress:

Projects that transform realities on Earth and

explore space as a driver of innovation and adaptation.

Hover a card (or focus it with the keyboard) to see each pillar's title and description.

  • Global vision

    A read of the international environment and trends that inform decisions on Earth and in space.

  • Strategy

    Priorities, pathways, and partnerships to reach public, private, or territorial goals with strategic clarity.

  • Development

    Initiatives, capabilities, and delivery to make strategy workable over time with tangible impact.

  • Security

    Risk, rules, and trust in competitive, digital, and regulatory settings that demand rigour.

  • Expansion

    Growth into new markets and frontiers, integrating the space dimension of power and cooperation.

Two domains, one logic

The same phenomena that have defined power on Earth: science, technology, competition, cooperation, security, regulation, policy, and economics — are now shifting into space.

The Foundation analyses these processes across both domains to support organisations in their strategic positioning and entry into emerging markets.

Earth

Global Governance, Geopolitics and Geoeconomics, Cooperation and Competition in the International System

Space

We bring space closer to people and organisations so they can be visionaries, pioneers, and active actors in building the new great frontier through the opportunities the space economy offers us.

Two domains. One integrated vision.

Transition of economic sectors

The sectors that sustain the economy on Earth feed the emergent areas of the space economy: data, infrastructure, resources, mobility, human activities, and innovation.
