MICHAL KOŘAN
Founder & Architect
Michal Kořan is the Founder and Conceptual Architect of GARI Enterprise s.r.o., where he designed the core simulation architecture that underpins the company’s system for modelling and predicting global processes, including commodity markets, energy systems, and geopolitical dynamics.
GARI Enterprise was commercialised from the Global Arena Research Institute, which he founded. The system reflects years of research into how global systems function in reality—integrating economic structures, political dynamics, infrastructure, and technological change into a unified modelling environment used for strategic decision-making.
His work focuses on the structure and behaviour of the globalised world, particularly how interconnected systems evolve, destabilise, and reorganise under pressure. This forms the conceptual foundation of GARI’s approach to forward intelligence across markets, supply chains, and geopolitical environments.
Alongside his work on GARI, Michal has an extensive academic and policy background in global politics, security, and technology. He is an Assistant Professor at Masaryk University, where he received his Ph.D., and previously served as Deputy Executive Director of the Aspen Institute Central Europe. He held multiple senior roles at the Institute of International Relations in Prague, including Deputy Director and Head of Research.
He was a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at the Weatherhead Center for International Affairs at Harvard University, and has led and coordinated a number of international research initiatives, including projects within the Visegrad framework and the International Visegrad Fund. He was also the lead author of a long-running annual publication on Czech foreign policy and founded the International Symposium on Czech Foreign Policy.
His academic work has been published in journals such as European Security and Journal of International Relations and Development, as well as by publishers including Palgrave, Routledge, and Rowman & Littlefield.
