Curator - Data Qualification Engine

Focus Innovation是一家数字产品公司，在开发商业问题解决方案方面拥有丰富的经验。我们工作的重点是用户体验设计和复杂数据集的可视化。Focus还为英国贸易和投资提供专业咨询服务，以帮助外国公司了解英国数字和创意行业的优势。由于我们在外国直接投资（FDI）领域的工作，Focus创建了一个数字产品“策展人”，以帮助FDI专业人士阐明区域产业集群。策展人从多个数据源创建复杂的信息图表;公司之家，LinkedIn，HESA等，并提出他们旁边更多的叙事支持元素;主要公司，思想领袖，研究项目和活动中心。我们已经为几个城市开发了策展人（伯明翰，曼彻斯特，利物浦和布里斯托），在每种情况下，我们都与区域行业专家合作，以确定我们所需的支持要素。这是一个深入的咨询过程，我们探讨了如何利用现有数据自动测量区域工业实力。避免了对稀有和昂贵的专家的需求。我们发现，当使用现有的数据集时，在其初级形式中，缺乏对生态系统资产的资格和评估-大学，研究小组，知识产权领导人，公司和专业人士。我们的概念，“数据资格引擎”（DQE），将根据工业评分矩阵对数据源进行评分，我们正在寻求InnovateUK的支持，以协助探索DQE在FDI和更广泛的数据领域的市场影响。可视化（DV）市场。

Focus Innovation is a digital product company with extensive experience in developingsolutions for business problems. The focal point of our work is user experiential design andthe visualisation of complex data sets. Focus also provides specialist advisory services to UKTrade and Investment in order to help foreign companies understand the strengths of the UK’sdigital and creative sector.As a consequence of our work within Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Focus has created adigital product ‘Curator’ to help FDI professionals articulate regional industry clusters.Curator creates complex info-graphics from multiple data sources; Companies House,Linkedin, HESA etc, and presents them alongside more narrative supporting elements; keycompanies, thought leaders, research projects and hubs of activity.We have developed Curator for several cities (Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool & Bristol)and in each case we work with regional industry specialists in order to identify the supportingelements we require. This is an intensively consultative process and we have explored how touse existing data to automate the measurement of regional industrial strengths. Circumventingthe need for rare and expensive specialists.We have found that when using existing data sets, in their rudimentary form, there is a lack ofqualification and valuation of eco-system assets - Universities, Research Groups, ThoughtLeaders, Companies and Professionals.Our concept, the ‘Data Qualification Engine’ (DQE), will grade data sources against anindustrial scoring matrix in order to both qualify eco-system assets into niche industrialsubsets and determine the value of their activity.We are seeking InnovateUK support to assist in exploring DQE’s market impact across FDIand the broader Data Visualisation (DV) market.
