31 Economic Segments by 2thinknow

Do you need to profile a city or nation by industry? Or a code to describe a group of industries? Do you find the existing US, EU and other codes to detailed for your needs?

31 Economic Segments (or 31ES) are designed by 2ThinkNow as 31 codes that cover all industry and community activities across a region, nation, state or city. They are designed to fix some problems:

1. Include modern technology (problem with exisgting codes)
2. Include service as well as industry and manufacturing
3. Include knowledge economy
4. Allow room for industries not invented yet within segments.

Anyone can use these codes for their work. CC License. If you are working on any project that needs these, use them, just attirbute them to this page. (We will put any links to changes on this page)

31ES codes are like the NACE, SIC and NAICS codes but better aligned to the modern economy, and simpler for headline reporting. This is why 2ThinkNow designed them.

If you have feedback on these codes below (please keep it brief) or suggest additions for the full list.
