Geoeconomic decisions rarely belong to one profession. They combine legal, commercial, political, financial and technological questions, yet the resulting judgment must still be explained, tested and used inside an organisation.
Helsinki Geoeconomics School brings those forms of knowledge into structured professional encounter. Accomplished professionals learn to recognise geoeconomic exposure, connect specialist knowledge and carry a defensible judgment into advice, governance and decision-making. They add geoeconomic capability to an existing profession; they do not leave that profession behind.
The programme is intended especially for lawyers and legal advisers; risk, compliance and governance professionals; finance, investment and trade practitioners; technology, data-governance and procurement specialists; and adjacent professionals in strategy, public affairs and intelligence.
The inaugural Winter Academy is one complete two-Term programme running from 16 November 2026 to 15 January 2027. Its centre is eight live 90-minute Modules delivered from Singapore from 30 November to 2 December, supported by orientation, clinics, Teaching Dossier work and reciprocal practica. Participants should allow approximately 30 hours in total.
Participation is live online. The complete two-Term tuition is EUR 900 net plus applicable VAT. The ordinary acceptance and full-payment deadline is 16 October 2026. Tuition does not include an in-person place in Singapore.
