A collaboration between INITIATIK and RebootUp
The era of seamless, “border-agnostic” technology is over. Export-control rounds now land faster than product releases; chip shortages ripple through entire industries; and data-sovereignty laws clash across continents. In this new technopolitical order, power is defined less by GDP than by who controls silicon, cloud regions, energy grids and narrative space.
Yet most enterprise risk dashboards still point to yesterday’s map of the world, built on assumptions of endless globalisation and institutional stability. The result? Blind spots—critical vendors no one can replace, data routes that cross hostile jurisdictions, AI models trained on datasets suddenly deemed illegal.
In this context, INITIATIK and RebootUp have set up together a specific advisory offering to help companies adapting their tech choices to current geopolitical risks.
Designed to help companies not just understand the shifting landscape—but respond to it.
Objective: To equip leaders with a tailored understanding of how systemic shifts (e.g. tech sovereignty, energy constraints, export controls, geopolitical fragmentation) affect their business landscape.

| 2. Executive briefing | 1-hour interactive presentation to leadership with key insights, frameworks, and Q&A. |
| 3. Foresight pack | Concise PDF briefing designed for boardroom distribution and internal alignment. |
Timeline: 2–3 weeks

Objective: To stress-test leadership assumptions, model exposure to key geopolitical-tech scenarios, and identify weak points or areas for strategic resilience.
What it includes:
| COMPONENT | DESCRIPTION |
| 1. Scenario Planning Framework | Realistic scenarios built around sovereign AI, infrastructure decoupling, energy disruption, etc. |
| 2. Facilitated Strategy Workshop | 3-hour interactive session with leadership and key teams. |
| 3. Strategic Risk Map | Consolidated summary of exposure points, strategic implications, and mitigation pathways. |
Timeline: 3–4 weeks (including prep)
Deliverables:
Objective: To turn insight into execution by helping companies align leadership, rewire strategy, and activate concrete initiatives that embed resilience and strategic advantage.
What it includes:
| COMPONENT | DESCRIPTION |
