About Us
Challenger Research is a discreet strategic intelligence and risk advisory, operating at the intersection of domains that are increasingly inseparable in practice but still analysed in isolation.
We integrate intelligence across space systems, uncrewed platforms, climate and environmental risk, and critical mineral supply chains to identify strategic exposure, dependency, and leverage that sector-specific analysis routinely misses. This cross-domain approach allows us to surface risks, constraints, and opportunities that only emerge when technology, governance, and geopolitics collide.
We work with a select number of clients, providing private sourcing, early warning, and interpretation that allows decision-makers to act before volatility becomes crisis.
International Expertise
Our global network brings together dozens of consultants, expert advisors, and collaborators with deep experience across politics, economics, business, trade, regulation, asset management, law, environmental science, and history.
This breadth of expertise allows us to deliver nuanced, context-specific insights tailored each client's needs.

Our Vision
Uncompromised Clarity in a Contested World
Our vision is to be the definitive baseline of truth for leaders committed to the resilience of open societies and transparent markets.
We operate with a clear ethical stance: we are firmly aligned with the principles of liberal democracy, the rule of law, and the defence of sovereign integrity. We recognise that authoritarianism poses a systemic threat to the stability and commercial viability of the global order.
However, we believe the strongest defence of these values is clinical objectivity. Ideology creates blind spots; therefore, our analytical doctrine is one of detachment.
The organisations shown represent where contributors to Challenger Research have held professional roles, in an individual capacity.
