Welcome to Manteion
Manteion is a boutique geopolitical advisory firm specialising in helping highly regulated industries navigate today’s complex global landscape. Highly regulated businesses have particular challenges with the interplay between external geopolitical and economic impacts and regulated market specific dynamics.
With core expertise in energy, life sciences, and banking, we also serve clients across a wide range of regulated sectors, from pharmaceuticals to technology and beyond. In industries where regulations are stringent and risks can quickly impact the bottom line, our insights enable businesses to make informed decisions, manage risks, and seize opportunities.
Managing Geopolitical Risk – Matters
Geopolitical risk impacts every business – every day.
In heavily regulated sectors, like life sciences and energy, decisions about product launches, approaches to major acquisitions, all take place in a geopolitical context. Understanding the impact matters – for the organisation, its shareholders, clients and customers. And its advisers. Lawyers, accountants and financial advisers need to take an integrated approach.
Geopolitical risk isn’t just about political risks, a change of government, or economic risks resulting from economic sanctions and environmental risks like climate change.
Any country’s risk register demonstrates the breadth and significant variety of these risks. The National Risk Register for the UK for example identifies 89 risks divided into 9 themes. Most important, a business needs to understand the interconnectivity of these risks through quantitative, qualitative and regulatory analysis.
And for every risk there is an opportunity – and if that can be leveraged for business benefit, it should be, to drive up shareholder value.
It will always be as important to grow business as it is to mitigate and adapt to risk. Pandemic preparedness is now the watchword for governments and pharmaceutical companies. Environmental risks have driven a revolution in energy provision.
