Agora Strategy Group

What Agora Strategy Group does

Agora Strategy Group AG is a Munich-headquartered geopolitical strategy consultancy founded in 2015 by former German Ambassador Wolfgang Ischinger, alongside other experts drawn from the Munich Security Conference ecosystem. The firm serves international enterprises, governments, and international organizations with four core advisory lines: Geopolitical Risk Analysis, Geopolitical Strategy Consulting, Government Consulting, and International Crisis Management. Service delivery is senior-partner-led and draws on a network of 350+ advisors and fellows from diplomacy, security, business, and academia, providing regional and local connectivity across virtually all world regions.

The firm's principal technology-enabled product is the Geopolitical Risk Compass, a monitoring tool that scores 190+ countries across 30+ indicators in four dimensions (political stability, security risks, macroeconomic stability, business environment), distributed through a partnership with the SupplyOn supply-chain management platform. This is complemented by the in-house Agora Strategy Institute (a think tank headed by former Ambassador Dr. Peter Ammon with 300+ experts), Executive Briefings, an annual Risk Report, and The Future of Power podcast. The firm monetizes through quote-based professional services engagements, a €4,000/year Executive Membership subscription, and thought-leadership channels.

Agora Strategy maintains offices in Munich (headquarters, Residenzstraße 7), Berlin (Pariser Platz 6), Brussels (Rond-point Robert Schuman), and Paris (Avenue Kléber), with named enterprise clients in insurance, financial services, and government. In December 2025 the firm received the Hidden Champions of Consulting Award 2026/27 in the Geopolitics category, an independently validated award that saw the firm outperform McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, and Accenture in DACH-region client surveys. The company is privately held, founder-led, and discloses no external funding or revenue.
