Services
Our clients engage us for the quality and pertinence of our insights on specific areas related to economic development, bilateral and multilateral cooperation, energy, defense and security. Our deliverables are concise, focusing on the essential data points that matter, enabling our clients to rapidly and confidently make informed decisions.
Given the sensitive nature of our work, we adopt a low profile and deliver our advice in strict confidence. We value our clients’ requirements for discretion and maintain strict boundaries of need-to-know information.
POLICY RESEARCH
We support our clients with policy research, informing on approaches to address their economic and societal challenges and help them meet their development objectives. Our knowledge of these challenges and objectives, experience in policy-making in the Gulf and deep insight into global macro-trends gives us an edge in helping governments optimize the use of their policy tools in the areas of trade, climate, energy and international affairs.
SINO-GULF RELATIONS
Bilateral relations between China and the GCC are not expanding at the same rate for all countries. Our access to management in all major Chinese State Owned Enterprises as well as our extensive reach in private Chinese conglomerates, gives us a unique view of the criteria driving China’s investment decisions abroad. This access also enables us to conduct specialized due diligence on Chinese companies considered for investment by GCC investors.
FORESIGHT
Global trends in technology and trade, rapidly evolving security contexts, changes in public opinion or long-term global directional economic shifts can have a major impact on our clients. We help our clients formulate plausible macro scenarios that can inform their decision-making. Our unique capabilities are boosted by our partnership with the information and intelligence branch of our partner Othrys.
