Appealing solutions to the hierarchy problem of the Standard Model involve assuming that the Higgs particle might be composite, and originate from new strong dynamics. This general scenario has a number of concrete possible realisations, and their study requires non-perturbative theoretical methods. I illustrate a selection of three classes of such possibilities, via examples of calculations that use gauge-gravity dualities, lattice gauge theories, and effective field theories, respectively.
