Map and understand economic clusters with real-time data
Use The Data City to unlock growth, investment, and innovation by identifying clusters that matter, fast.
What is cluster analysis?
Clusters are groups of businesses, institutions, skills and infrastructure concentrated in a location – driving innovation, productivity and investment.
Our platform helps you find, define and analyse clusters that matter to your economy.

We’re finalising a powerful new feature that lets you define and explore economic clusters in minutes. You’ll be able to:
- Adjust cluster size, density and sector focus
- Choose from GMM or HDBSCAN clustering methods
- View company-level and summary insights
- Export clusters as GeoJSON
- Download high-res maps and tables
Currently onboarding alpha users.
See where real clusters are forming

Define, analyse and visualise business ecosystems using live company data, RTICs and advanced clustering tools. Whether you’re building policy, mapping investment zones or planning infrastructure – this is your starting point.
