Centinelas – Think Tank is an international network of experts founded with the ambition of becoming a leading reference in geopolitical analysis, strategic intelligence and global risk advisory for businesses, institutions and civil society.
In a deeply interconnected yet increasingly unstable world, business and political decisions cannot be made without considering major international developments. Wars, health crises, supply chain disruptions, trade tensions, cyber threats and social unrest are just some of the forces that can directly affect the performance of any organisation. In this context, Centinelas acts as a beacon: we help you understand what is happening and anticipate what may come next.
A strategic vision
Who we are
A private, independent think tank based in Spain with a global outlook, founded by professionals with experience in strategic consulting, international relations and corporate diplomacy.
Our objective
To build bridges between academia and the economic and financial ecosystem, offering rigorous, actionable analysis to those who need to make decisions with a significant impact.
Our mission is threefold:
01. Develop applied knowledge
About the phenomena shaping the international environment.
02. Provide strategic advice
To organisations that need to understand geopolitical risks in order to operate successfully.
03. Connect networks of experts
Around the world to generate highly precise contextual intelligence.
A decentralised model
What sets us apart is the global, decentralised network of expert contributors with whom we work. Centinelas does not rely on a fixed staff of consultants, but on a flexible, ad hoc association of academics, journalists, former diplomats, former military officers, data analysts and private-sector professionals spread across five continents.
This allows us to activate specific resources for each project, with an approach rooted in local knowledge and adapted to each context. We do not offer generic answers: our analysis draws on our contributors’ real experience in the relevant settings.
We also actively collaborate with communications consultancies, public affairs firms and organisations with a growing need for geopolitical perspective, adding value without overlapping with their work.
A multidisciplinary approach to anticipation
We see geopolitics as a tool for decision-making.
This is about more than understanding conflicts or international relations; it involves applying that knowledge to:
01. Assess risks to investments and operations in complex markets.
02. Design positioning strategies in response to regulations, crises or political actors.
03. Strengthen organisational resilience in changing environments.
04. Integrate cultural and political intelligence into international expansion plans.
Our work combines public policy research, empirical data analysis, strategic consulting and the production of intelligence publications and reports. All of this is supported by academic methodology and the practical perspective of the corporate world.
A unique proposition
Centinelas aims to become the leading geopolitical reference for the Spanish-speaking world in Europe and the Americas, connecting knowledge, experts and markets on both sides of the Atlantic.
We currently operate as an independent platform and are developing collaborations with international organisations and other European consultancies with whom models of cooperation are already taking shape.
The project is led by a growing team with a clear vision: to create a community of sentinels who monitor global changes, understand them and translate them into useful knowledge for those who need to act.
Consulting services
In a business environment increasingly exposed to unpredictable external factors, Centinelas offers solutions based on knowledge, rigorous analysis and international experience.
Our services are organised around four main pillars:
01. Geopolitical risk consulting
Strategic advice for businesses and institutions on environments affected by political, economic or international security risks.
02. Public policy analysis
Applied research in economics, technology, defence, the environment, foreign relations and regulatory development.
03. Intelligence publications and reports
We produce studies, technical reports and strategic briefings tailored to each client.
04. Strategic data analysis
We turn complex data into practical decisions using advanced information systems.
We also work with communications and public affairs consultancies to complement their services with specialised geopolitical perspective, without competing with their main functions.
