Description

Invest Ottawa relies heavily on data about the City of Ottawa to fulfill its programming objectives, understand and analyze the economic and labour markets, and demonstrate to companies and talent why Ottawa is a prime location to build/scale a business and live/work. The data Invest Ottawa currently uses was collected several years ago and was collected via a manual approach – individuals contacting ICT and life science businesses in the city, one-by-one. While this approach was reliable, it is neither sustainable nor scalable. Thus, Invest Ottawa, with support from the City of Ottawa’s Economic Development and Long-Range Planning Branch, is seeking a firm to develop a data model that pulls data from credible, reliable, publicly available and/or subscription-based sources (as appropriate) featuring knowledge-based industries (including but not limited to ICT and life science industries) data and a sound methodology that supports cross-dataset calculations and comparisons to support our work.
