Shoring up the Entrepreneurial Ecosystem through Real-Time Data Analysis
Description
This project addressed the need for an alternative approach to firm level data collection using digital sources to inform decision making in support of entrepreneurial development. Our main objective was to provide data to entrepreneurial support agencies and organizations, enabling them to make better informed, more expedient decisions in support of innovation and firm development. These organizations would benefit not only from systematic access to real-time data sources, but equally from the ability to match and reconcile multiple data sources in support of firm level analysis. Entrepreneurial data of this nature has the potential to transform economic development analytics and guide policy towards building more resilient entrepreneurial communities.
RENCI's Role
RENCI developed a database and front-end for collecting and querying data on entrepreneurial activity in the RTP, along with interactive visualizations.
