CBS Geo­pol­it­ics & Busi­ness Se­cur­ity

CBS Geo­pol­it­ics & Busi­ness Se­cur­ity is a stra­tegic ini­ti­at­ive that provides re­search-based in­sights and new forms of col­lab­or­a­tion, aimed at busi­nesses, au­thor­it­ies, or­gan­isa­tions, and de­cision-makers to help un­der­stand and ad­dress the geo­pol­it­ic­al changes shap­ing com­pan­ies, mar­kets, and so­ci­et­ies today.

Busi­ness and Lead­er­ship in the Shad­ow of Geo­pol­it­ic­al Ten­sions

CBS Geopolitics and Business Security is a strategic initiative that, through research, communication, and dialogue, focuses on questions such as: How can businesses protect and develop themselves in an increasingly unpredictable world? How can companies safeguard their employees, facilities, and confidential knowledge against espionage, sabotage, disinformation campaigns, and cybercrime? What new business opportunities arise as global alliances and priorities shift, and how can these best be leveraged? Do companies have a broader societal responsibility in ensuring the resilience of Danish society in times of crisis and conflict? And what does “responsible leadership” actually mean in the new geopolitical order?

In dialogue with businesses, relevant authorities, and research foundations, we aim to identify the most relevant and urgent questions. We seek to strengthen our research at the intersection of geopolitics, security, and business studies, and to apply our existing expertise in areas such as international business management, resilient value chains, risk management, sanctions regimes, and cybersecurity.

Through ongoing dialogue with businesses, authorities, and research foundations, we will identify the most urgent and relevant issues and generate knowledge that can help strengthen Danish and European business, as well as security and safety in Denmark.
