Strategic Decisions Faster

Through Catalyst™—our proprietary data analytics, machine learning, and agentic AI platform—GlobAS Group delivers strategic business intelligence for finance, life sciences, real estate, and government. We don't just mine insights. We mint decisions.

Dr. François Gilardoni is the Founder and CEO of GlobAS Group, where he created Catalyst™, a cross-industry AI/ML solution. With more than 25 years of international executive and board experience across the U.S., EMEA, Japan, and South Africa, he has led transformative change in high-tech and heavily regulated sectors.

His leadership experience spans oil and gas, life sciences, high-tech investments, financial services, and software. He specializes in corporate venture capital, turning around distressed ventures, and positioning companies for high-value mergers and acquisitions.

Dr. Gilardoni holds a Ph.D. in Computational Chemistry from the University of Geneva, as well as master's degrees in Environmental Science and Computing. He completed postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley and served as a research fellow at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He has received several academic honors and completed executive training with Shell BV.

The gap between data and decisions costs organizations more than they realize — in time, in missed opportunities, and in moves made on instinct rather than evidence. We close that gap, combining proprietary AI with deep domain expertise to give leadership teams a cleaner, faster path to what matters.

Data Analytics

Turns complex, fragmented data into clear intelligence — reducing decision cycles from weeks to days and giving leadership the confidence to act.

Predictive Modelling

Surfaces risks and opportunities before they become visible to the market — so every next move is ahead of the curve, not behind it.

Competitive Intelligence

Continuously monitors competitors, markets, and talent pools — delivering actionable briefings, not raw data dumps.

Talent & People Analytics

Quantifies the human dimension of strategy — surfacing talent gaps, benchmarking competitive hiring, and identifying the right teams to meet the most critical organisational challenges.

Investment Intelligence

Built for VC, CVC, PE funds, and M&A teams — maps competitive landscapes, scores opportunities, and stress-tests investment theses with unbiased, machine-driven analysis.

AI Transformation

From roadmap to production — embeds AI into operations in a way that sticks, scaling what works and eliminating what doesn't.

Strategic intelligence has no industry boundaries. Catalyst is industry-agnostic by design and runs on evidence, not assumption. We bring the same proprietary intelligence infrastructure to every sector — calibrated to the questions, risks, and competitive dynamics that define your field.

M&A

Political & Competitive Intelligence

Politix is an agentic, AI-powered platform that converts public political communication into clear, actionable insights. It analyzes parliamentary speeches, committee debates, press releases, public interviews, and video transcripts from transparent, verifiable sources. The platform relies exclusively on trusted data to power its intelligence engine.

Amid the overwhelming volume of political statements, our system uncovers hidden patterns across political parties and exposes contradictions in political rhetoric. It identifies policy priorities, emerging narratives, ideological alignments, and evolving political dynamics.

By clustering related ideas, mapping relationships between politicians and parties, and generating a dynamic, navigable representation of the political landscape, the platform empowers political strategists to identify areas of consensus, recognize competing priorities, and engage citizens more effectively.

Politix enables evidence-based strategy by identifying resonant policy issues, detecting bridging narratives, and surfacing potential coalitions early—all while preserving full human control and decision-making authority.

Politix turns political communication into structured, competitive political intelligence for clearer strategic decision-making.

GlobAS Group analyzes how advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping markets and organizations. Combining quantitative analysis, visualization, domain expertise, and proprietary data analytics tools, we identify structural trends in the AI industry and its application across sectors, including financial services and investment management. Our work provides actionable insights to support better decision-making in increasingly complex environments shaped by technological change, market dynamics, and geopolitical developments.

The Global AI Race

The global AI race is entering a more contested phase as China narrows the capability gap despite spending a fraction of what U.S. hyperscalers commit to compute and infrastructure.

Regulatory and policy shocks are exposing new vulnerabilities in America's AI dominance.

A more fragmented, two-tiered AI order is taking shape — prompting enterprises and governments alike to treat frontier AI as a contested strategic asset rather than an assured American advantage.

Edge AI: A Strategic Shift

Enterprises are reassessing artificial intelligence deployment as cloud-only models expose rising costs, dependencies, and compliance risks.

Edge technologies now enable efficient, on-premises processing for high-volume operations.

A deliberate hybrid approach offers greater financial control, data sovereignty, and operational stability — prompting leaders to view AI as manageable infrastructure rather than rented utility.

AI’s Financial Web

The AI industry rests on a complex web of cross-investments between chipmakers, model developers, and cloud providers.

While these ties provide stability, massive planned spending on infrastructure faces uncertain returns amid energy limits, geopolitical pressures, and regulatory shifts.

The structure invites careful evaluation of where genuine long-term economic value may emerge.
