Founded to empower executives worldwide in mastering the unexpected.
At Qatalis, we believe in turning uncertainty into opportunity. Our journey began in 2017 with the need for a new approach to supplement traditional methods of cybersecurity and strategic decision-making. Manual processes evolved into an AI-based operational model through dedicated research and development efforts.
In 2019, we initiated a research collaboration with Aalto University, leading to significant advancements in integrating internal and external data for actionable insights. Our research was published in the prestigious journal Nature in early 2023, showcasing our proprietary algorithms and social physics tools.
By combining internal data with vast external sources, Qatalis provides tailored, role-specific insights for executives, enabling proactive leadership and transforming unforeseen challenges into strategic advantages.
Our team is a blend of seasoned experts and innovative thinkers, all committed to empowering leaders and transforming how decisions are made in the 21st century.
