We map the technomic landscape using immersive, competitive scenario-based experiences.

At Logos Forums we explore the intersection of technology, financial markets and national security: the technomic landscape.

About

Competitive, immersive & dynamic

We use our gaming platform and expert network to overlay the context and history of financial markets and technology with deep understanding of national security issues and threats. This generates insight into the risks and opportunities in the technomic space.

We call this the ‘human algorithm’, the combination of specialists from our three technomic pillars coming together to debate, compete and formulate answers to the most complex challenges facing business and government.

Our games are challenging, immersive and exciting.

Who are the participants?

Participants include senior executives from hedge funds, private equity and tech investors with significant experience in these three areas, chosen for their creative approaches to challenges in the global financial system.

We also include key subject-matter experts drawn from both public and private sectors with experience relevant to the forum themes.

Our national security participants have all held high-level government positions in Europe and the US.

Past themes 2018-2022:
  • The battle for energy resilience: sovereignty, supply chains and security.

  • Securing the technomic high grounds: semiconductors, cloud computing and battery technology.

  • Who controls the clearing houses: technomic threats to the global financial system.

Games

How do we create immersive games?

Our game team builds new and dynamic environments for each game. To provide a unique experience for our players we build our games using three key elements: platform, content and our people.

Platform

Platform

Each game is designed and run on our digital game platform. This allows the players to communicate, interact and respond to the unfolding scenario in real-time.

Content

Content

The content team is responsible for bringing the game scenarios to life with bespoke dashboards and media injects that are generated live during the game. 

People

People

Our players are supported and guided through each game by a distinguished team of subject-matter experts, including former senior national security and intelligence specialists.

Bespoke games

The bespoke games are custom designed events created for our partners in finance, technology and government. The games provide each client with a dynamic and competitive environment to develop strategies, build teams and explore the future technomic landscape.

Responsive, real-time content and specialist advisors create an immersive context that brings the scenarios and associated challenges to life. The incentive of competition between the teams allows us to maximize the engagement of all players and generate unique insight into the challenges our clients face.

Technomic series

The technomic series games are run over two days to explore the intersections and ‘high grounds’ of technology and financial markets to identify strategic threats and opportunities. The participants are an exclusive, high-level group of business leaders, financial experts and representatives from the military and national security communities.

Each meeting explores a specific set of challenges and technomic ‘high grounds’ using Logos Forums' proprietary methodology and competitive gaming environment.
