Location Intelligence (AI): Re-inventing Public Spaces for Ankara Municipality

电子商务的发展，再加上企业在房地产成本上苦苦挣扎，意味着空置率正朝着历史高点迈进。实体零售的衰落不仅仅是房东和零售商的问题。最终，它给地方当局和公众提出了一个重大问题。如果商业街和零售目的地不能保持活力/相关性，公共领域和当地消费市场最终都会受到影响。土耳其的地区市政当局渴望振兴城市，实现持久的变革。土耳其代表了一个巨大的市场，这些国家最近正在改变他们的零售方式，重新构想公共空间，改变他们自己独特的商业街形式，并经历了严重的城市化。这一变化为Radius测试其现有位置智能解决方案的可行性提供了机会，并为Radius在土耳其和类似新兴市场的扩张铺平了道路。该项目将提高Radius-AI能力，并将定位智能平台（从trl -7推进到trl -9）推向国际市场。通过运营优化和边际改善来增强弹性是克服市场障碍和吸引更多投资以继续向其他新兴市场开放平台的关键。相对于产品的潜在收益，与最后阶段的研发和最初的产品推出相关的成本明显体现了物有所值。作为一种独特的创新产品，Radius作为英国的一项关键颠覆性技术，有机会成为新兴市场的头号解决方案提供商。这为寻求国际扩张的英国企业和投资者增加了附加值。该解决方案将具有推荐哪些国际市场更适合英国快速消费品和时尚品牌扩大销售业务的能力。此外，寻求在新兴市场投资价值购物中心的房地产投资者将能够获得更可靠的投资回报率估计，因为Radius将拥有对区域市场动态的见解，从而为英国企业创造价值和就业机会。

The growth of e-commerce, coupled with businesses struggling with property costs means that vacancy rates are heading towards historic highs. The decline of physical retail is not just a problem for landlords and retailers. Ultimately it poses a significant question for local authorities and the general public. If high streets and retail destinations fail to remain vibrant/relevant, both the public realm and the local consumer market will ultimately suffer.Regional Municipalities in Turkey are eager to revitalise the cities and achieve lasting change. Turkey represents a large market of countries that are very recently changing their retail methods, re-imagining public spaces, changing their own unique forms of high streets, and going through heavy urbanization. This change represents an opportunity for Radius to test the feasibility of its already existing Location-Intelligence solution and pave the way for Radius to expand not only to Turkey but to similar emerging markets.This project will improve Radius-AI capabilities and launch the Location Intelligence Platform (progressing from TRL-7-to-TRL-9) into the international market. Building resilience by operational-optimization and marginal-improvements is key for overcoming market barriers and drawing further investment to continue opening the platform to other emerging markets.The costs associated with final-stage R&D and the initial product-rollout, relative to the product's potential benefits present a clear case for value for money. As a unique and innovative product Radius holds the opportunity to be the number one solution provider in emerging markets as a key disruptive technology from the UK. This extends the added-value to UK businesses and investors who are looking for international expansion. The solution will have the capability to recommend which international markets are more suitable for expanding sales operations of UK FMCG and fashion brands. Also, real-estate investors looking to invest in value shopping-centres in emerging markets will be able to get more reliable estimations on their ROI as Radius will possess insights on regional market-dynamics - leading to value-creation and jobs for UK businesses.
