The Data City gives Think Tanks clarity
Think tanks shape the future, but many are held back by outdated tools and messy data.
The Data City replaces legacy classifications, fragmented sources and manual workflows with one platform built for modern policy work. Get the clarity to move faster, publish stronger, and stay relevant in a shifting landscape.
Start with stronger evidence
Think tanks need data they can trust. Our platform brings real-time insight on over 9 million UK companies – including financials, growth signals, funding and labour market data, all in one place. Cut manual work and publish faster, sharper research that matters.
See what others miss
The economy is evolving fast — but most datasets haven’t caught up. Access 400+ Real-Time Industry Classifications (RTICs) and explore sectors overlooked by SIC codes, including the UK’s priority IS-8 industries like Advanced Manufacturing, Life Sciences and others driving future growth.
