FP Simulations & PeaceGames

FP’s Simulations and PeaceGames convene leading minds in national security policy, international affairs, academia, business and industry, and civil society to “game” out pathways to more effectively mitigate and collaboratively manage complex crises and cross-border risks. Applying FPA’s rigorous research capabilities to the ideation and production of scenario-based crisis simulations, these interactive engagements facilitate innovative thinking to help meet partners’ diplomatic, strategic, or business objectives. FP’s Simulations and PeaceGames are held in person as well as on a bespoke virtual platform that enables simultaneous participation from around the world. They can be closed-door or as part of a public forum.
In February 2025, FP Analytics and the Special Competitive Studies Project (SCSP) hosted an interactive simulation at the Munich Security Conference focused on how China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran might respond to and leverage breakthroughs in general artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies. Participants discussed the application and governance of frontier AI models for military use, strategic buildout and protection of AI-related infrastructure, the use of cryptocurrency and other financing mechanisms, among other issues.
In February 2025, FP Analytics and the World Government Summit held an interactive simulation at the nexus of energy and artificial intelligence. Participants grappled with how to balance AI innovation and growth with resilient energy systems and sustainable resource management that will be central to future economic growth, competitiveness, and security.
In 2024, FP Analytics hosted an interactive simulation focused on the complex and cross-border challenges that growing antimicrobial resistance present to global health and health systems. Held on the eve of the high-level meetings on AMR at UNGA79, this invitation-only event brought together leaders across global health, finance, and security to work through a research-based scenario. The project was supported by AMR Action Fund, CARB-X, Cepheid, Merck, Northwestern Buffett Institute for Global Affairs Antimicrobial Resistance Working Group, Pfizer, and Viatris.
Recent advances in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to biotechnology could help ensure that the next pandemic kills far fewer people—or that it kills vastly more. In February 2024, FPA partnered with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the Munich Security Conference (MSC) to produce a simulation, “Fighting ‘Smart’ Pandemics,” which highlighted the intersection of AI and biosecurity as a key priority area warranting deeper and sustained engagement from global leaders.
Space activities are accelerating at a rapid pace, ushering in a range of opportunities for humanity while posing new global challenges in sustainability, security, and governance. Recognizing that deepening international, cross-sectoral partnerships will be vital to mitigating risks and harnessing opportunities in space, Foreign Policy partnered with Amazon and the Net Zero Space Initiative to host a simulation during the 2023 Paris Peace Forum.
In 2023, FP Analytics partnered with Emergent BioSolutions to produce a series of three simulations, which were held on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) and in Washington, D.C., focused on a hypothetical biosecurity crisis with cascading impacts on global health, public trust, food security, and regional stability.
On October 21, 2022, FP Analytics partnered with Schmidt Futures to hold an in-person simulation in Washington, D.C. to tackle complex, transnational security issues. The researched-based hypothetical scenario challenged Schmidt Futures' International Strategy Forum (ISF) Fellows to tackle threats posed by emerging technologies to global cybersecurity, energy security, emergency prepardness, food security and trade, and mis- and disinformation.
For the second consecutive year, FP Analytics and World Vision partnered to hold a virtual simulation featuring a research-based hypothetical scenario grounded in a multi-sector framework for assessing risk and fostering resilience across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus. The 2022 simulation challenged participants from around the world to tackle the complex political, socio-economic, and environmental factors that are eroding livelihoods, increasing human and ecosystem vulnerability, and contributing to conflict and migration in the Asia-Pacific region, specifically near Bangladesh, Myanmar, and India.
As part of a special collaboration, FP Analytics and the Anwar Gargash Diplomatic Academy (AGDA) developed the Future Diplomats PeaceGame to engage and train the next generation of foreign policy leaders. In 2021, over 20 young diplomats from 14 countries participated in FP's custom-built Virtual PeaceGame Platform for an immersive and interactive simulation that challenged participants to grapple with the international security and governance issues emerging from the development of advanced weapons and technologies in space.
