Project Description
Governments are good a regulating business but bad when it comes to providing guidance. It is on everyone's radar to grow the economy in areas of high demand or future need, but there is no real way of individuals knowing what will work where, so of all companies that start up, half fail within the first year. If the hard questions about why instead of just the regulatory questions about what were asked up front, new companies would begin their journey in much better shape.
Data Story
Using government grant and investment data to show which industries new businesses are best to start up in was in a 2016 project 'Unveil the Scene'. The same year the project 'Future Proof' used open data to give job seekers a greater perspective on where jobs are likely to be located before they are posted on job sites.
This year our team is going to build on these previous works to develop a single pane of glass interface to guide those with a great idea, and turn it in to a viable business.
