Collective Intelligence in International Affairs
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to analyze how the civilized machinery works together to solve complex collective problems and utilize synergies that make it possible for humans to strategically innovate.
OUR VISION
Our vision is to redefine global cooperation by improving the collective human composition, interaction, policy intervention and transformations resulting from innovations of present and future generations.
ABOUT US
Strahl Composite is a think tank with a unique global perspective and experience analyzing and intervening in the collective intelligence space between humans and the totality of civilizations. Chiefly, how societies, institutions, and other governing systems solve complex collective problems. We examine and reflect potential synergies derived from vast differences and competing interests wrought by innovations to enhance collective intelligence.
Our systems analysis approach is interdisciplinary and combines social-scientific traditions in the analysis of organizing processes and their outcomes. We put the human at the center of this approach. How humans and sovereign states interact with each other, how humans interact with technology and vice-versa, how humans build the world, and how humans exchange goods, services, and information across borders. Our research is driven by a strong interest in collective intelligence as a practical, situated, contested, and changing matter.

African Economic Outlook | 2026

TECH+SOCIETY
AI Index Report | 2026
This year's Index reveals a widening gap between what AI can do and how prepared we are to manage it. While AI continues its rapid integration into the global economy – with technical capabilities improving, investment accelerating, and adoption spreading – the frameworks needed to govern, evaluate, and understand this technology are falling behind. In a field where data transparency is declining, independent, rigorous measurement has never been more critical. This report provides the most comprehensive analysis of AI's trajectory available.
DIPLOMACY
The Global Tech Diplomacy Report | 2026
