Economic Advisory & Applied Research

We deliver rounded economic impact assessments of organisations, sectors, projects, policies and economic shocks. We use government-recognised techniques to capture direct, indirect supply chain and induced effects. We also provide tailored assessments of productivity benefits, tax contributions, wellbeing and environmental improvements.

We have undertaken a wide range of feasibility studies ranging from nationally significant visitor attractions to local heritage development. We partner with a wide range of leading consultants including interpretative designers, architects, engineers, ecologists. We are experts at business case development. We have submitted successful applications for a wide range of funding programmes including URDF, RRDF, REDF, Destination Towns, and Platforms for Growth (to Stage 3).

Our applied research projects are targeted at improving the quality of people’s lives, in areas such as resilience, urban security, sustainable planning and development, climate change solutions, and citizen engagement at national and European level. KPMG Future Analytics is an established leader in the European-funded research sphere, having attracted over €4.8 million in funding via 17 research projects. We leverage our diverse skill set including proposal and report writing, data monitoring and evaluation, qualitative and quantitative analysis, website and dashboard development, dissemination, communication, and commercial exploitation of key research projects.
