Our AI Technology Tools and Services
Data/AI Organizational Strategy
Let us assist you with the development of an AI adoption strategy.
Our initial inventory and assessment of your organization’s business information, data, software, subscriptions, capacity and other technology resources will lead to a data, technology and capacity plan that will set you on a path to becoming a more effective and efficient EDO and capitalize on the AI Revolution.
AI Portal
We will develop a custom-made centralized information portal that ties your internal and external software, data and information resources together into one platform.
This allows for the more seamless integration of AI and the display of unique insights, opportunities and economic threats to your state, region or community.
ProspectEngage
ProspectEngage is a business investment marketing and attraction dashboard that combines economic, business, industry, marketing and website visitation data to optimize marketing campaign intelligence and lead generation performance.
Data Dashboards
Information overload is real, but it doesn’t have to be. Using a cutting-edge data platform, our team can customize comprehensive, easy-to-use economic data dashboards that illuminate even the most complex datasets for economic, market, and impact analyses.
Our data dashboards have been designed for internal tracking of key economic indicators and performance metrics by decision makers and staff, and can also be seamlessly posted on your website to help you illustrate your impact.
We work to understand the most important data points, the critical analysis, and the most meaningful way to display it all so that our clients get the information they need quickly. The data is regularly refreshed, meaning you are not using yesterday’s data to make decisions for tomorrow.
Custom AI Solutions for Economic Developers Powered by SophieAI
From site selection to supply chain analysis, our custom Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs) give you intelligent assistants tailored to your organization and region’s needs.
Our current tools, including SiteMatchGPT and SupplyChainScout, help EDOs:
- Evaluate site readiness and match properties to high-value industries
- Identify supplier gaps and recruitment opportunities
- Generate target company lists and outreach strategies
- Turn complex data into insights in minutes, not months
In short, we help our clients use AI to accelerate business attraction, strengthen clusters, and drive smarter economic development decisions.
