Founded in Singapore with offices in Hong Kong and Shanghai, ISAI is an independent think tank dedicated to advancing understanding of the critical forces shaping our world—from geopolitical shifts and economic transformations to societal changes and technological disruptions.
We bring together leading scholars, policy experts, and industry practitioners to deliver rigorous, forward-looking research that informs strategic decision-making for governments, businesses, and institutions.
At ISAI, we believe that the challenges of our time demand not only deep expertise but also intellectual courage and a commitment to objectivity. As our founder often reminds us, "In an era of information overload, clarity is power. Our role is to cut through the noise, ask difficult questions, and illuminate pathways grounded in evidence—not ideology."
This ethos guides our work. Whether analyzing the implications of regional trade policies, assessing the societal impact of AI, or advising on sustainable development, we prioritize nuance, context, and actionable solutions.
Our geographic presence across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Shanghai reflects a deliberate focus on Asia’s dynamic ecosystems while maintaining a global outlook.
By combining local insights with cross-border perspectives, ISAI bridges academia and real-world application. Clients rely on us for advisory services, scenario planning, and tailored research that anticipates risks and opportunities.
