Our journey: A story of global growth

There is an actual Third Bridge; a wooden bridge in the middle of Botswana’s Okavango Delta, spanning a reed filled pool on the Sekiri river. Literally, it’s the third wooden bridge travelers cross upon entering the reserve. Symbolically, it’s recognized in local culture as the last bridge to cross before arriving in unexplored territory. It acts as the gate to a region where paths are obscured and hard to find, and where discovery requires commitment and determination.

The significance of what that bridge represents wasn’t lost on our founders. Their belief in the global impact local knowledge can have underpins our name and our culture. We embody that same spirit of discovery, leaving no stone unturned to identify experts who hold the insights you need, whatever the topic, geography, or sector. 

Our dedication to impeccable client service and unearthing the hard-to-find insights, has enabled Third Bridge to grow from a visionary idea into a global research organization with over 1,500 employees across 12 offices on four continents. Inspired by the spirit of exploration, we are committed to giving you seamless access to the expert insights you need to fuel your investment decisions. 

Third Bridge is not just a reminder of an extraordinary African adventure, it’s the perfect metaphor for what we do each day.
