2thinknow is the world's first innovation agency, established 2006.
2thinknow has modelled innovation as a process, not a value.To do this we have created unique proprietary models, algorithms, metric indicators and analysis tools for innovation. This includes the first model of the innovation process across time and cities from San Francisco to Vienna to Dubai to Shanghai and beyond.
Cities house 50% of the world’s population, but most decision-making data is primarily on a national level. 2thinknow have used our innovation technology to research and build the world’s largest database of city benchmarking data across 31 industry segments, over 162 designed indicators. This data-set references over 1500 cities, with full indicators on 450 cities globally in the core CBD data-set. 2thinknow set up programs to develop a significant understanding of the operation of innovation cities. Such as:
2thinknow are the first to offer these and other Innovation Programs for the innovation economy.
The site provides a breakdown of deliverables for all data we hold on cities globally, including all indicators for the current time (or subscription period) as well as related data points provided to corporate customers. The breadth of our offering has substantially increased since prior years.
Much of this data is unique data that even the city itself does not hold, obtained through our proprietary city methodologies.
Our subscription options allow the city to submit corrections to data (based always strictly on evidence which our analysts review at set times in the year). In some cases this allows us to capture improvements between competing cities much more quickly.
This allows the city benchmark itself, understand the Innovation Cities Index ranking / classification better, and allocate resources to plan for further improvement.
If you have any queries about any deliverables, or otherwise, please feel free to reach out any time to our team at comms@2thinknow.net.
2thinknow always take a long term view, and desire that each city become more competitive in the global innovation economy through improving potential unique strengths and growing their city brand.
Keep innovating!™
