The New Lines Geopolitical Forecasting and Advisory Unit (GFAU) produces a set of forecast publications related to geopolitical hotspots around the world and their global connectivity implications. These publications include a Weekly Forecast Monitor, the Global Hotspots podcast, and Quarterly and Annual Forecast Reports. To learn more about forecast reports and analytical products from New Lines Institute — including briefings, simulations, and training sessions — contact us at [email protected] or register below.
New Lines Institute has partnered with AI start-up Mantis Analytics to launch an AI-powered platform to forecast geopolitical trends and simulate their impacts. The platform, and suite of accompanying services, is designed for stakeholders across industries, governments, universities and civil society who seek to mitigate risk and make decisions amid political, economic and security uncertainty. It demonstrates how geopolitical shocks may cascade and offers a structured environment for testing resilience and readiness of policy and business plans.
Select early adopters will have access to a trial version of the platform for a limited amount of time, be invited to join an introductory webinar, and receive access to the 2026 Annual Geopolitical Forecast Report. Interested users will be able to walk through the demo and understand how the platform can be customized to suit unique user needs and priorities.
