I recently prepared three Regional Growth Fund grant applications on behalf of clients which required Economic Impact Analysis to demonstrate the direct and indirect jobs resulting from the project and the economic contribution that would be made to the region.
Two of the projects were located in regions that had invested in a subscription to economy.id, and one that was not. The grant applications that could reference .id's Economic Impact Analysis were far stronger for this fact and could clearly demonstrate the value of supporting the proposed project in that region.
