Webinar: Harnessing smart data for good: real-time insights into economic wellbeing

How can we use smart data to understand economic wellbeing and how it’s changing over time, place and demographics? And how can we use this understanding to drive research and policy that finds solutions to our most pressing challenges. 

Join Smart Data Foundry for a 45-minute lunchtime learning session exploring near real-time insights into economic wellbeing, drawn from over 5 million de-identified consumer bank accounts and hundreds of thousands of SMEs. 

Using Smart Data Foundry’s Economic Nowcast and Economic Wellbeing Explorer, the webinar will showcase how to use these publicly available tools to understand economic wellbeing and generate fresh, near real-time insights for use in reporting, research and policy design. 

You’ll see how the Explorer maps financial wellbeing down to neighbourhood level, supporting , responsive, evidence-based interventions and how Nowcasting can provide fresh insights to complement less timely official statistics.

Whether you’re shaping policy, building local services, researching trends, or monitoring economic volatility, this webinar is your chance to discover new ways to measure what matters, right now.
