710157DIG (Data for Investment and Growth)ClosedGRD Proof of ConceptInnovate UKThe UK is overstocked with innovative high-growth companies but closure of the Regional Development Agencies (RDAs) and changes to reporting obligations under the Companies Act leave UK government and Corporate Investors struggling to identify high-growth companies and direct support for growth. This project will prove the concept of a tool to identify high-growth companies based on realtime open-source intelligence and known revenues. The tool will combine structured and unstructured data from the web to identify the fastest-growing companies in any given sector or region. The tool will be valuable for private equity firms and the public sector to direct support and foster job creation.
