Special Projects

AIMING AT WORLD DOMINATION

In the world of great powers competition, Klecha & Co. and R&R discuss the role of technology in shaping future geopolitical developments, and the opportunity that Europe has to affirm its potential role, between the incumbent hegemon (the US) and the rising power (China).

COLD WAR II

The world is experiencing a geopolitical recession, characterised by a phenomenon of gradual de-globalisation and balkanisation of global supply chains.

Technology Fast-Tracking a Multifaceted European Integration

The European integration process has been characterized by a series of setbacks, which have then been followed by important advances.

Towards a tech-driven Cold War

There might, hypothetically, be a clear winner of the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”. AI systems and 5G technology are surely the revolution’s two key enablers,and the first mover – the first to successfully implement these systems on a large and sophisticated scale – will certainly gain a competitive advantage over others.

Advocacy Papers

A NEW ERA FOR MONEY

Project New Era is a privately led initiative evaluating the path towards a retail Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) in the UK. The project proposes closer public-private collaboration in order to address key challenges and open questions relating to CBDC development.

Our partners supply the specialised infrastructure needed to implement these strategies securely, efficiently, and in full regulatory compliance.

Together, this ecosystem enables clients to design, build, and operate digital asset systems across four critical domains: high-security digital wallets, institutional custody, regulated stablecoin issuance, and the tokenization of assets and liabilities.
