For Universities & Academics

Unlock deeper insights for world class academic research

Universities and Academics are using the Data City Platform to push the boundaries of research by exploring emerging industries and economic trends.

Empowering universities and academics through data

At the heart of education, research, and innovation, universities drive societal progress. The Data City provides the real-time industry insights needed to enhance research, secure funding, and contribute to economic growth.

Transform research with powerful industry insights

With access to reliable and cutting-edge data, universities and academics can push the boundaries of research, drive policy recommendations, and bolster their academic and economic contributions.

Map and understand emerging industries

Leverage our Real-Time Industrial Classifications (RTICs) to access cutting-edge sector data from over 400 RTICs and spot opportunities that traditional SIC codes and manual research misses. In addition to leveraging our RTICs, use our AI-powered list builder to create and map your own sectors.
