“I was thoroughly impressed by both the depth of his analysis and his ability to present complex geopolitical dynamics in a clear and compelling way. Klisman offers not only knowledge but perspective. His insights into how AI, geopolitics, and shifting national strategies intersect were eye-opening and highly relevant — especially for decision-makers navigating uncertainty. What stood out most was his ability to captivate the audience and make abstract concepts tangible — always connecting them back to what matters for businesses, nations, and individuals alike. Klisman is a powerful speaker and thinker, and I can highly recommend him to anyone looking for strategic clarity in a changing world.”

Geoeconomic strategist decoding global risk through data and first-principles thinking

Klisman Murati is a geoeconomic strategist, global forecaster, and keynote speaker known for turning complexity into clarity. His work sits at the intersection of geoeconomics, data, finance, and nation building, offering a sharp and business-focused perspective on global affairs. Trusted by policymakers, investors, and corporate leaders, he brings a structured, data-backed approach to understanding risk and opportunity. His keynotes challenge conventional thinking and give audiences tools they can immediately apply.

 

Klisman Murati – A New Lens on Global Power

Klisman Murati operates where data, strategy, and global affairs meet. As a geoeconomic strategist and global forecaster, he helps decision-makers understand what is really shaping the world — and what others are missing. His work moves beyond headlines and conventional narratives, focusing instead on structural forces that drive nations, markets, and power.

At the core of his thinking is a simple idea: most analysis relies too heavily on precedent. Murati takes a different route. Through first-principles reasoning, he strips problems down to their fundamentals and rebuilds them using data and logic. This allows him to uncover patterns, risks, and opportunities that traditional approaches often overlook.

 

The Global Power Index

Murati is the creator of the Global Power Index (GPI), a proprietary quantitative framework that assesses 194 countries across ten dimensions of power and development. The GPI is not just another ranking system — it is a tool designed to reveal underlying strength, fragility, and future trajectories.

This framework has successfully identified major global developments before they became widely accepted. Among its forecasts are Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Germany’s 2024 recession, and rising tensions involving the US, Israel, and Iran. By focusing on structural realities rather than surface-level signals, the GPI highlights risks and opportunities that consensus analysis often fails to detect.

Today, the framework is trusted by institutions such as NATO, HSBC, AIRBUS, the European Commission, Vanguard, Shell, and JP Morgan. These organizations rely on Murati’s insights to navigate uncertainty and make better-informed strategic decisions.

 

Keynotes That Shift Perspective

As a keynote speaker, Klisman Murati brings his methodology directly to the audience. His presentations are tailored to the specific challenges facing each organization, whether it is a corporate board, investor summit, government forum, or industry conference.

Rather than offering generic predictions, he provides a structured way to think. Audiences leave with a clearer understanding of how to assess global risk, evaluate opportunity, and make decisions in uncertain environments. His style is direct, thought-provoking, and grounded in evidence, often delivering insights that challenge widely held assumptions.

Murati’s keynotes are known for their clarity and immediate relevance. He connects global developments to real business implications, ensuring that complex ideas translate into practical value.

 

A Multidisciplinary Advantage

Murati’s ability to see what others miss is rooted in his multidisciplinary background. He holds degrees spanning anthropology, political economy, energy policy, security studies, financial crime, and outer space governance. This broad foundation allows him to connect dots across domains that are often treated separately.

Where single-discipline specialists may focus narrowly, Murati builds frameworks that work across systems. This approach enables him to understand how economic, political, and technological forces interact — and how those interactions shape future outcomes.

In addition to his speaking and advisory work, he serves as a Visiting Professor at the Helsinki Geoeconomics Institute, contributing to the next generation of thinking in global strategy and economics.

Klisman is an independent, sharp thinker who will never fall for the 'We are right and they are just wrong' type of one-sided binary analyses that we see so often in mainstream reports. I highly recommend his services.

Klisman gave a very interesting presentation on geopolitical trends relating to trade and trade finance at an ITFA Fintech event in Helsinki. I particularly enjoyed the fact that he took real positions on each of the issues he raised and argued them coherently, without being argumentative or dogmatic about it. Many speakers simply give vague explanations of both sides of any controversy and waffle around them, so his approach was very refreshing.

I’ve known Klisman for quite some time and I find myself fascinated by his insights. He has the ability to connect seemingly unconnected dots to come up with ideas, answers, and thought pieces relating to geopolitics, technology, the environment, and others. On top of this, he’s a really nice person!

Keynotes

Keynote by Klisman Murati:

Building geoeconomic IQ: How to Lead and Build Resilience in a Fractured World

The rules that governed global commerce for three decades are being rewritten in real time. Trade is being weaponised, supply chains restructured along political lines, and economic policy is increasingly indistinguishable from foreign policy. Drawing on the Global Power Index, Murati equips leaders with the framework to read geoeconomic risk before it hits their balance sheet.

Impact: Increased confidence in your ability to understand, forecast and respond to geoeconomic changes in the world

Keynote by Klisman Murati:

Beyond emerging markets: Why we need a more sophisticated approach to understanding developing economies

The conventional frameworks used by investors, corporates, and policymakers to assess developing economies rely on income thresholds and credit ratings that obscure more than they reveal. Using the Global Power Index, Murati dismantles the emerging markets category and replaces it with a datadriven map of which economies are genuinely accumulating capability and which are being dangerously misread.

Impact: A paradigm shift in your understanding of emerging markets and the metrics you should be using to understand the developments in these countries.

Keynote by Klisman Murati:

Vision and bricks: How to Build the Winning Nations of Tomorrow

National success is not random and it is not inevitable. It is engineered through specific combinations of institutional design, capital allocation, industrial strategy, and demographic management. Drawing on the Global Power Index and three decades of cross-country data, Murati identifies the structural patterns that separate nations on a genuine upward trajectory from those coasting on outdated narratives.

Impact: A competitive edge for leaders who need to move from reacting to global shifts to anticipating them, backed by the most comprehensive model of national development ever constructed.

Keynote by Klisman Murati:

The 2026 Power Map: Where Opportunity and Risk Are Really Moving

Conventional analysis follows the loudest signals and treats them as the story. They are not. They are symptoms of deeper structural shifts that most frameworks fail to measure. Using live GPI data, Murati maps these shifts across 194 countries and overlays them onto the audience's specific region, sector, or strategic priorities.

Impact: A bespoke strategic briefing that gives audiences a data-driven view of where power is actually moving.
