TECHNOLOGY POLICY
We empower key decision-makers to pioneer transformative change, harnessing the power of best-in-class technology policy practices to navigate the future, shape sustainable growth, and foster a legacy of innovation and impact
- 1Strategic ambition articulationDefine your key technology challenges and aspirations at entity or community levels, to set a visionary yet achievable direction for policy development and implementation
- 2Landscape analysisConduct in-depth analysis of the technology environment, including regulatory trends, technological advancements, and competitor strategies, to inform and shape your policy-making process
- 3Technology roadmappingDevelop a strategic plan for cutting-edge technology policy initiatives, outlining the path from current state to future goals, including key initiatives, milestones, stakeholder engagement, and activation strategies
- 4Capability mappingAssess organizational and broader ecosystem enablers required to effectively develop, implement, and enforce technology policies, identifying gaps and opportunities for capability enhancement
- 5Policy designCraft technology policies that align with organizational and national goals, encompassing strategy, governance and performance oversight
- 6Testing supportDesign and assist in deploying test mechanisms for evaluating the efficacy and impact of technology policies, ensuring practicality, enforceability, and alignment with intended outcomes
Case Studies
Designed a program to provide cloud-based supercomputer access
A local player in the Middle East involved in funding RDI initiatives recognized the need to enable the ecosystem with advanced computational capabilities.
As a result, they decided to design a program to provide local researchers with access to high-performing computers (HPCs), aiming to:

Designed a program to provide cloud-based supercomputer access
Our team followed the following approach:
- Design an outline for the digital grants program
- Conduct a national needs assessment and benchmark global HPC networks
- Analyze the local market and prospective application areas
- Interview experts and stakeholders
- Propose a two-phase approach for cloud and on-premise HPC provision
- Create a cost model and an implementation plan
- Create content for launching and processing a call for applications, and review submissions
- Draft an RFP for vendor engagement
