Why We Do This:
The Interconnected Challenges

Transforming Society Through Intelligent Research

The greatest challenges of our time (lack of economic opportunity, social disparities, environmental degradation, poor health and wellbeing, educational gaps, and barriers to entrepreneurship) are not isolated problems. They are interconnected crises that demand interconnected solutions. At Orbis Scientia, we believe that intelligent research workflows can accelerate the discovery and implementation of solutions that address these challenges holistically, creating cascading positive impacts across all sectors of society.

The Orbis Scientia Approach

Traditional research approaches tackle these challenges in isolation, missing the synergistic solutions that could emerge from understanding their interconnections. The pace of traditional research (often years from hypothesis to implementation) cannot match the urgency of our interconnected crises.

Systems Thinking at Scale

Our intelligent workflows enable researchers to map connections across disciplines, identifying how environmental research can inform economic policy, how social insights can guide health interventions, how educational innovations can drive economic opportunity, and how entrepreneurial approaches can scale solutions across all domains.

Evidence-Based Impact

We accelerate the synthesis of research across fields, helping identify proven interventions that create cascading positive effects. Economic programs that improve health outcomes, environmental policies that create jobs, educational approaches that promote economic opportunity, and entrepreneurial models that scale social innovations.

Collaborative Solution Design

Our platforms will connect researchers across domains, fostering collaboration between economists and environmentalists, public health experts and education researchers, sociologist and technologists, entrepreneurs and academics. This enables the cross-pollination of ideas essential for addressing interconnected challenges.

A Personal Message from Bradley Petersen, Founder

The Multiplier Effect of Intelligent Research

I founded Orbis Scientia because I've witnessed firsthand how breakthrough research gets trapped in silos while urgent global challenges accelerate faster than our ability to solve them. As an entrepreneur and researcher, I've seen brilliant discoveries languish in academic journals while communities struggle with problems that existing research could help solve.

When we accelerate research that addresses economic opportunity, environmental protection, health and well-being, education, and entrepreneurship as interconnected challenges, we don't just solve problems faster. We solve them better. Each breakthrough creates ripple effects that amplify progress across all areas.

The question that drives me every day isn't whether we can afford to invest in intelligent research workflows. It's whether we can afford not to, when the challenges we face are accelerating faster than our ability to address them through traditional approaches.

I invite you to join me in this mission. Whether you're a researcher seeking to amplify your impact, an entrepreneur looking to scale solutions, or an organization committed to research, let's work together to transform how research addresses the interconnected challenges that define our time.
