Klisman Murati is leading geoeconomics keynote speaker he is an expert on global markets and harnessing data for strategic leadership.
Using the Global Power Index, Murati reveals where global power is moving next, how to prepare and what these changes mean for markets, investments, and long-term strategy.
The most underrated skill in the world today is the ability to ask good questions. This is what truly separates average leaders from great ones. Combining systems thinking, first principles analysis and data, Murati trains leaders in how to ask better questions about the future of technology, world affairs, business growth and nation building, thus empowering them to make smarter business, investing and policy making decisions.
He is visiting Professor at the Helsinki Geoeconomics Institute in Finland, specialising in geoeconomics and emerging technology governance. As founder of Pareto Economics and the creator of the Global Power Index, he takes geoeconomic analysis to another level. His work combines data, geopolitics, economics, technology, demographics, and capital flows to reveal the deeper forces reshaping the global economy and what these changes mean for markets, investments, and sustainable policy.
He has coined the term “geo-risk” to describe the multifactor trends impacting our world and has pioneered the study of “segmented polarity”and the impact it is having globally. As a result, his insights have informed the decisions of policy makers, capital allocators and corporate leaders the world over on growth, risk, competitiveness, and long-term strategy.
Every keynote is customised using data from his Global Power Index, covering any of the 194 countries measured, enabling Murati to deliver highly relevant, data-backed insights tailored to the specific countries, sectors, markets, and strategic priorities of each audience.
His stage presence is unforgettable and he is known for merging data science, original thinking, storytelling and practical takeaways that help leaders make better decisions in an increasingly uncertain world.
Keynote Themes & Topics
The Rise of Geo-Risk: Why Volatility Feels Permanent and How to Navigate the Uncertainty Using Data
Geo-risk is not geopolitics. It is the compound effect of political, technological, demographic, and capital forces operating simultaneously – and it is now the primary driver of business outcomes in every sector, including yours. Organisations that continue to analyse these developments in isolation risk missing the bigger picture. Murati explains how these forces interact and what they mean for investment, supply chains, competitiveness, and long-term growth.

Looking at the complexities of today’s world, how power operates is key. I was therefore interested to see that this is also the starting point of Murati’s approach to understanding global issues, and it underpins his Global Power Index. I am glad to see him champion this more eclectic approach, looking at diversesources of influence, and how they feed off each other.
