The objective of the training programme "Geoeconomics and Competitive Intelligence" is to introduce the basic concepts of geoeconomics and competitive intelligence as well as to analyse their influence on the contemporary international system. The course seeks to explore the influence of geoeconomic strategies on the distribution of international power relations and examine the role of information in the context of competitive intelligence strategies.
This multidimensional analysis aims on the one hand to allow the participants to gain a strategic perspective of events and develop their analytical skills, and thus to be able to better apprehend the mutations of the world of today. On the other hand, it seeks to prepare them for the challenges faced by the private sector, public agencies and international organisations in an environment that is becoming increasingly complex.
The "Geoeconomics and Competitive Intelligence" course can also provide a forum for discussion to participants of different cultural, national and professional backgrounds.
Major themes of "Geoeconomics and Competitive Intelligence": From Geopolitics to Geoeconomics, Economic Warfare, Competitive Intelligence, Geoeconomics and Disinformation, Indirect Strategies and Influence.
Target group of participants for ICGS courses: Persons working for International Organisations and Government Agencies, Diplomats, University Students, Company Managers and other interested individuals.
ICGS training courses are characterised by a non conformist approach and interactive teaching. Discussions are enhanced by the diversity of participants coming from different cultures, countries as well as having different educational and professional backgrounds.
ICGS can organise conferences, symposiums, seminars, training courses, and continuing education programs in the field of geopolitics, strategy and geoeconomics. These programmes can be adapted to the needs of international organisations, private companies as well as public agencies and can be organised in Geneva or abroad.
