On December 18, 2025, our Chief Data Scientist for Political Risk, Dr. Nicolas Schwank, shared his assessment of these developments in the morning news program on WELT. The central focus of the broadcast was the EU summit in Brussels, which provided the backdrop for Dr. Schwank\u2019s analysis of current geopolitical tensions and key political decisions shaping the international landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the interview, Dr. Schwank explained why the political and international order is being fundamentally reshaped and what this means for governments, businesses, and investors alike. His commentary highlights how geopolitical rivalries, shifting power structures, and growing political instability are increasingly interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recorded segment offers a concise yet in-depth assessment of the global risk environment. Dr. Schwank demonstrates why data-driven political risk analysis is more important than ever for understanding global developments and navigating uncertainty in a rapidly changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch the full video in the WELT media library:<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.welt.de\/politik\/ausland\/video6943ba813e25dcaf036aef09\/datenwissenschaftler-schwank-die-politische-und-internationale-ordnung-wird-neu-geschrieben.html\">https:\/\/www.welt.de\/politik\/ausland\/video6943ba813e25dcaf036aef09\/datenwissenschaftler-schwank-die-politische-und-internationale-ordnung-wird-neu-geschrieben.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a provider of data-driven political risk analytics, we support organizations in better understanding global dynamics and making informed strategic decisions. Dr. Nicolas Schwank\u2019s appearance on WELT underscores the relevance and credibility of our expertise in today\u2019s geopolitical debate.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shariff shariff-align-center shariff-widget-align-left\"><div class=\"ShariffHeadline\"><h3 class=\"shariff_headline\">share<\/h3><\/div><ul class=\"shariff-buttons theme-round orientation-horizontal buttonsize-medium\"><li class=\"shariff-button twitter shariff-nocustomcolor\" style=\"background-color:#595959\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mbi-geodata.com%2Fen%2F2026%2F01%2F13%2Fwelt-tv-interview-political-risk%2F&text=In%20Conversation%20with%20WELT%3A%20Political%20Risk%20in%20the%20Spotlight%20of%20International%20News%20on%20TV&via=MBIgeodata\" title=\"Share on X\" aria-label=\"Share on X\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" class=\"shariff-link\" style=\";
