Arne Elias Corneliussen is a geopolitical advisor who supports business leaders, financial companies, and policy makers. He is a political scientist and he studied in the US, Egypt, and Chile.

He is the founder and chief executive officer of NRCI – a geopolitical advisory firm he established in Oslo, Norway, in 2010.

Corneliussen traveled to more than 125 countries, and he conducted a wide range of long overland fact-finding expeditions alone by bus, train, and car across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America where he mapped geopolitical, strategic and economic risks and opportunities.

Furthermore, he also traveled on a fact-finding expedition by train, bus and car from Shanghai to Istanbul across China, Central Asia, and the Caucasus to map infrastructure developments, logistics clusters, and the geopolitical landscape along One Belt One Road, also called the New Silk Road, which China develops.

Moreover, in 2023 and 2024, he traveled on a 5-month fact-finding expedition in southern and eastern Africa to assess geopolitical dynamics, and investment and business opportunities.

His global on the ground experience assessing geopolitical, strategic, and economic developments, combined with managing a geopolitical advisory firm for 15 years, make him uniquely experienced and highly knowledgeable about global geopolitical events and global affairs.
