Define your industry. Guide the narrative.
Built with The Data City, RTICs-as-a-Service is a collaborative way to map your industry, access real-time data and be recognised by government, investors and the wider economy.
Introducing: RTICs-as-a-Service
RTICs are built in partnership with industry leaders, academics and experts. With RTICs-as-a-Service, your organisation becomes a co-creator of the official definition of your sector, informing government, guiding investment, and empowering innovation.
Whether you’re a trade association, academic centre, or sector specialist, sponsoring an RTIC puts you at the heart of how your industry is defined and measured.
What are Real-Time Industrial Classifications (RTICs)?
Real-Time Industry Classifications (RTICs) are live, machine-learning sector definitions built from company website data. Unlike SIC codes, which haven’t changed since 2007, RTICs keep up with the pace of the modern economy.
They solve the problem of outdated classifications, helping you see which companies make up your sector, how they’re growing, and where investment is going. From FinTech and Net Zero to Advanced Manufacturing, there are already over 500 RTICs live in our platform – used by government, investors and industry leaders to make smarter decisions.
