Challenge conventional thinking by amplifying voices of young professionals from varied backgrounds, experiences, and disciplines, bringing multifaceted perspectives to complex technological and policy challenges.
-
Bridge the gap between technical innovation and its implications across society - including education, economics, law, religion, diplomacy, security, and defense - creating more holistic policy frameworks.

Cultivate the next generation of security and policy experts through rigorous analysis and innovative communication.
Who We Are
We are an independent, non-partisan, research initiative focused on the intersection of emerging technology, national security, safety, ethics, and policy. We've observed a critical gap: while established institutions focus on today's prominent challenges, tomorrow's disruptive technologies often develop under the radar until their impacts become unavoidable.
Technology's acceleration demands proactive engagement rather than reactive policies. We address mainstream challenges like artificial intelligence with fresh perspectives, while also deliberately seeking out underexplored technologies and implications that deserve greater attention. This balanced approach ensures we contribute meaningfully to current debates while helping identify emerging issues before they become critical.
What distinguishes us is our approach: we bring together perspectives from people with varied backgrounds, experiences, and fields of expertise - unburdened by institutional conventions that can limit imagination and foresight. Our community includes voices from across education, economics, law, religion, diplomacy, security, and military backgrounds, creating a richer analytical foundation. We're committed to not just identifying problems but to advancing practical solutions that help policymakers, security experts, and innovators prepare for an increasingly complex technological future.
This platform serves as our laboratory for ideas, research, and professional growth. We ask uncomfortable questions, challenge assumptions, and connect disparate fields to address emerging security challenges in ways traditional think tanks often cannot.
We champion both visibility and vision – illuminating overlooked technological developments while fostering the critical thinking needed to navigate an uncertain future. Our ultimate goal is to make the world safer by anticipating tomorrow's challenges today.
We're here to tackle the big issues everyone's talking about, shine a light on the ones they're not, and hopefully make the world a little safer in the process.
