About Us
The world is connected. Our intelligence should be too.
Earthena is pioneering Resilience Intelligence™, a new capability to understand how global forces interact, what they mean for organisations and how to act with foresight.Starting with global supply chains.
“Brilliant models that end in reports don't change decisions. We built Earthena to bring a new kind of intelligence into the decisions themselves, where it can change outcomes.”
Iggy Bassi
Co-founder & CEO, Earthena
Our mission is to make the intelligence of a changing world accessible to every decision that matters.
For decades, organisations have invested in more scientific models, more datasets and more dashboards. Yet the decisions that matter still depend on fragmented information and an incomplete understanding of how the world works.
The missing piece was rarely another dataset. It was the connections between them. We founded Earthena to bring those connections together, combining deep science and AI to make complex intelligence accessible, trustworthy and actionable.
We believe that when people and AI can understand how the forces shaping our world interact, they can make better decisions, earlier, with greater confidence and a clearer view of the consequences.
We are starting with global supply chains, where these connections shape cost, continuity and growth every day. But our ambition is much broader: to make Resilience Intelligence part of how decisions are made across the economy.

Our Story
17 years in the making.
Two founders. One enduring question: how can organisations understand a changing world well enough to make better decisions?
2009
Where it began
Iggy Bassi and Karan Chopra begin working together in West Africa, confronting how external forces shape businesses, supply chains and livelihoods.
Cervest
Building the scientific foundations
Iggy founds Cervest to bring climate intelligence into enterprise decisions. The experience reveals a larger challenge: sophisticated models alone cannot explain the interactions shaping business outcomes.
The book
Defining a new approach
Iggy and Karan co-author The Climate Intelligent Organization (Wiley), setting out the case for science-grounded and unified intelligence that informs real decisions.
QuantEarth™
The breakthrough
A new scientific intelligence foundation emerges. More than 30 specialised models, connected through causal reasoning, create new forward-looking intelligence across interacting global forces.
