PRESS RELEASE
Applied Invest Backs Bilateral Navigator
2 March 2026
Bilateral Navigator has secured a strategic investment from Applied Invest, the family office led by Dr. Bruce Grant, founder and Executive Chairman of Applied Value Group and a long-time board director of Vestas Wind Systems and Tele2. The milestone-linked investment will support the growth of Bilateral Navigator's platform, contributor network and global distribution.
Bilateral Navigator analyzes each country pair across around 40 domains, from geopolitical alignment and economic synergy to innovation, energy and cultural connectors. The collection covers all 18,528 possible bilateral editions among the 193 UN member states.
“This investment validates what diplomats and business leaders worldwide have told us: there is nothing else like this, and the demand is real.”
“The early traction gives me strong confidence in the commercial model.”
Bilateral Navigator editions have been presented as diplomatic gifts during official state visits, and more than 1,000 ambassadors, consuls general and honorary consuls across six continents have engaged with the platform.
