Approach
Our approach to international business is based on the intersection of three components: economy, geopolitics, and energy. The dynamics of these three elements, their interaction at a given point in time, shape the specific characteristics of the international market and the way of doing business. Understanding this process can largely determine the success or failure of companies in the international marketplace.
Global Economy
The global economy is undergoing a profound process of reconfiguration, characterized primarily by changes in the direction and intensity of trade, investment, and technology flows. These changes directly and differently affect the countries and companies that participate in the global market. It is up to them to understand the process and act accordingly.
Geopolitical Competition
The current state of international relations is characterized by growing geopolitical competition between powers such as the United States, China, and Russia, which are vying to increase their global power and influence on access resources and markets.
The rivalry between these power centers, which sometimes leads to trade wars, sanctions, embargoes, etc., forces companies and countries, for example, to constantly evaluate their strategic positioning in the global arena to ensure their survival and future.
Energy Transition
The new energy transition, inspired by environmental sustainability, seeks to replace fossil fuels with renewable and clean energy sources in the long term. This will enable a transformation of the energy foundations of the global economy. This will be evident in a progressive and profound change in society's production, distribution, and consumption systems. Learning from and supporting the process is inexorable.
