Night Time Economy Specialists

The team at Ingenium Research have been involved in measuring the night time economy across the UK and Australia for over ten years.

The initial methodology (the “Night Mix Index”) was developed during our time at TBR in the UK, when we calculated the UK’s NTE to be valued at £66bn in 2009. This was the first recorded approach to measuring NTE activity in the world and was adopted by local authority councils and the UK central government’s Home Office to show the relative economic importance of the night time economy within the wider UK economy.

In 2012, the approach was replicated for the Council of Capital City Lord Mayors in Australia for the purpose of measuring the scale and trends in NTE activity across Australian capital cities.

Since 2017, Ingenium has been operating in Australia to provide CCCLM and local government areas with unique NTE insights, as many urban areas take an increasing interest in developing 24-hour economies.

Services we can provide include but are not limited to analysing and reporting on granular geographic economic activity and clustering, criminal incidents, live music, transport and trading hours. We can analyse how these factors align with current policy and make recommendations for future policy direction.
