see the future; shape your strategy
Welcome to StratEko
StratEko is an AI-powered scenario intelligence tool for exploring the future of countries and economic sectors. Choose a country and sector from intuitive dropdown menus, adjust global trend sliders—from AI and climate change to geopolitics and trade—and analyze real-world satellite imagery to add place - based environmental context. Then toggle between deterministic and narrative modes to generate structured strategic forecasts or immersive scenario stories. Whether you’re planning, investing, or simply exploring what lies ahead, StratEko turns global complexity into insight.
​
1. Start by selecting a country and economic sector below, then build your own future scenario. 2. Adjust the global trend sliders to to the right to emphasize how forces like AI, climate change, tariffs, authoritarianism, and geopolitical rivalry could reshape business prospects, economies, governments, ecosystems, and global relationships. 3. Add detail on your project or question. 4. Enhance your analysis by capturing and interpreting map imagery below for places of strategic interest — adding real-world geographic and ecological context to every scenario. 5. Finally, choose deterministic, narrative or hybrid modes before launching a scenario.
Discover emerging risks, uncover new opportunities, and explore alternate futures.
Compare countries, model multiple pathways, and refine your strategies with deeper foresight
