About GARI
Built by a research institute, not a marketing department.
Two entities, one method
The Institute does the research. The company puts it to work.
Global Arena Research Institute
A non-profit research institute founded in Prague in 2016 by PhDr. Michal Kořan, Ph.D. Continuous research and development on the Universal Synaptic Engine since 2017, funded by public research grants and foundations.
GARI Enterprise s.r.o.
The commercial spin-off of the Institute. Market Lens is its flagship product; Enterprise 360 is its bespoke intelligence practice. Both run on the engine the Institute built.

Advisers, not endorsers.
Advisers, not endorsers. The Board challenges the Institute's research programme and the assumptions behind it; it does not sign off on products, forecasts or briefings, and no member speaks for GARI Enterprise. Members are listed here only where they have given their consent.
