Strategic partnerships Public-private and cross-sector collaboration is evident through EWI’s transition of its programs to new organizations and partnerships with institutions like Kasuso Foundation and the College of Charleston. This signals potential for co-sponsored research, joint policy projects, and donor-aligned initiatives.

Global policy initiatives A history of high-profile convenings and regional dialogues (Western Balkans, Afghanistan, geopolitics of COVID-19) indicates readiness to engage in international security and governance programs, offering opportunities for funded research, expert panels, and consulting services for governments and multilateral bodies.

Digital and platform readiness Existing tech stack (AWS, Drupal/WordPress, Google Workspace, CMS and collaboration tools) supports scalable content, event platforms, and virtual briefings, enabling rapid deployment of online programs, memberships, and donor communications for new initiatives.

Funding scale With reported revenue between fifty and one hundred million, there is substantial financial capacity to support large-scale think tank projects, strategic alliances, and multi-year research programs with potential for grant partnerships and sponsorships.

Thought leadership funnel A track record of published guides, roundtables, and policy analyses positions EWI as a trusted voice for policy makers, enabling sales opportunities in advisory services, custom research briefs, executive seminars, and policy impact assessments.
