Your problems we solve with data
Here’s some common problems we have solved for others, and can help you solve:
Staffing Pools
Which cities offer the best staff pools? Whether it’s graduates, experienced programmers or any other profession we can quantify and rank your city.
Store Locations
Which cities have the richest vein of commercial store locations that you are currently overlooking? Where are the customers?
eCommerce Markets
Which cities (including those you are definitely currently overlooking) represent the best eCommerce markets for your good or service?
Success Correlations
What are the key drivers of success (as you define it)? Don’t just read literature, prove theories with data. Is employee happiness truly correlated to pay or leave? We can help with these queries.
Customer Targeting
Which cities have the largest, wealthiest or ready to buy target markets? Whether luxury or mass-market, enterprise or consumer. All segments. Where should you buy adverts?
Start-up Target Markets
Which cities form the best markets for your start-up or new product? What is the priority order of new markets?
Manufacturing Locations
Where to locate manufacturing or other businesses? Don’t just go to the ‘cheap’ country – you will find cities worldwide where success can be higher, and they are keen to attract your business.

Detailed city profiles on any global city, including for innovation eco-system, sustainability, development, trade and other elements. Compare cities or their brands using analyst data.
How We Do It Uniquely for You
Don’t leave money on the table, do the research based on the latest data before you decide.
To answer these questions for you quickly, we first consult the database of the Innovation Cities™ Index. That's the world’s largest and longest running city ranking of its kind (as seen in major media). Then we consider our related City Benchmarking Data set of all cities. Finally, we look at our private TrendFile database of trends and case studies globally. You won't find this data elsewhere.
Why hire a data scientist to reinvent the wheel? Especially at rates approaching USD $10K-18K per month?
Or why hire juniors at low rates who will never actually solve your problem.
Our expert data analysts use our databases, then consider and solve your problem for a fixed and fair low fee.
