About

Modularity Research is a boutique consulting firm that provides companies with analysis and strategic foresight related to geopolitics, economics, technology, trade, investment, and supply chains.

Philosophy

The trend of unlimited globalization and openness is over. In particular, international trade, finance, technology, and people to people flows have become increasingly scrutinized under the pretext of national security. Moreover, the predominant global theme is a new Cold War between the United States and China, who are competing in the strategic, political, economic, commercial, and technological domains. Lastly, this is all occurring under the backdrop of declining economic growth and rising inflation.

In order to survive this harsh climate, businesses need crisp intelligence, forward-leaning policy signals, and most importantly, accurate data. However, many companies have poor access to information and lack connections to the policy-making world. As a result, they’re vulnerable to trade disruptions, export controls, investment restrictions, diplomatic disputes, shifting alliances, regional blocs, and sanctions threats.

Therefore, in order to mitigate the consequences of these adverse business conditions and geopolitical risks, companies are in need of a more connected and diverse information source.

Modularity Research provides a solution to this problem by connecting businesses with world-class experts in academia, consulting, policy-making, law, and industry. Instead of relying on news sources and surface-level policy commentary, our consulting approach of combining bespoke expert opinions and analysis across all the domains of concern allows companies to have more diverse and cross-examined insight. Having access to this gives our clients more knowledge into what policies are coming next, what they should do, and how various markets will adjust.
