Where Science Meets Regional Economic Strategy

Chart Your Region's Economic Future with Precision

Regional planners face economic choices that shape communities for decades. MetroForesight doesn't replace your experienced judgment—it amplifies it. We bring evidence-based clarity to industry selection, helping you map pathways that align with both your workforce capabilities and community values.

… When Raw Data and Intuition Aren't Enough

Many planners use the same datasets, but key insights remain hidden in the connections between data points. Standard analyses miss these patterns, while gut feelings alone can lead to costly mismatches—like workforce shortages that delay major investments or pursuing industries poorly matched to your region's true strengths.

MetroForesight’s
Economic Ecosystem Science Reveals Hidden Patterns

MetroForesight applies ecosystem science from university research to uncover connections invisible in standard analyses. Unlike conventional approaches that oversimplify economic complexity, our algorithms embrace it, generating quantitative matching scores between your region and industry targets. Our approach unlocks the full potential of data you already have, backed by validation studies correlating our matching scores with actual job growth.
