KPMG’s partnership with the University of Nottingham is focused on advanced data analytics with the ambition of developing new research and providing insight that will enhance KPMG’s data and analytics services.

We continue to work on a number of projects together across a range of workstreams, with some examples provided below. Please get in touch if you’d like to find out more.

Local Business Pulse Index

KPMG’s Local Business Pulse Index (LBPI) presents forward-looking and data-led insights on the UK’s economic geography.

Using interactive maps and deep dives into 363 areas across the UK, it presents a new typology of local places and a view across the productive strengths and growth opportunities of each area.

Developed in partnership with the University of Nottingham, the Index utilises a combination of machine learning methods, geographic data points and surveys of business leaders across the UK. You can access the tool and find out more here.

Over recent years, we’ve seen rapid change and disruption locally, nationally and globally, and we’ve also seen just how crucial data analytics and tech are in helping to navigate and overcome some of the challenges. So I’m delighted that we’re partnering with The University of Nottingham to combine our expertise with leading research and knowledge to bring value to our local economy.
