WHAT WE DO
At 82 Insight, we help the world’s leading organizations navigate complexity. Headquartered in Hong Kong and supported by a global expert network in Washington, London, and Hong Kong, we are a premier strategic advisory firm committed to delivering clarity in an increasingly uncertain world.
Our mission is to empower Fortune 500 companies, financial institutions, and governments to make confident decisions amid geopolitical volatility. We decode shifting regulatory landscapes, assess political risk, and provide actionable strategies that drive resilience, growth, and long-term value.
From anticipating global disruption to enabling effective stakeholder engagement, we partner with clients to turn uncertainty into opportunity. Every solution we offer is tailored, data-informed, and grounded in decades of experience in government, international law, and corporate leadership.
