The Rihla Atlas Initiative is an integrated research and data platform that maps and analyzes the Middle East’s evolving position within global systems. Through curated datasets, trackers, and original analysis, the initiative offers timely insights into the geopolitical, economic, and industrial shifts shaping the region.
At its core, Rihla Atlas helps users navigate the Middle East’s growing interconnections with major powers, with a focus on strategic sectors like critical minerals, energy transition technologies, infrastructure, and industrial supply chains. The initiative captures both headline developments and underlying trends, providing a clear window into how global competition and cooperation are playing out across the region.
Our flagship tools—including trackers on China’s global mediation activities, critical mineral investmentsm, and many other topics currently in development—offer accessible, actionable data and insights for policymakers, researchers, and businesses. Rihla Atlas is designed to equip decision-makers with the insights needed to navigate an increasingly interconnected and strategically significant Middle East.
