Ingenium Research brings together economics, mathematics, urban governance, geospatial analysis and qualitative research – grounded in over 15 years of work at the intersection of data and policy. We are a small, specialist team – and deliberately so.
Anna Edwards is one of Australia’s foremost researchers in night time and 24-hour economy governance – and one of a very small number of people anywhere in the world with a doctorate specifically in this field.
Her work sits at the intersection of economic analysis, urban policy and qualitative research. She has spent almost two decades studying how cities govern their night time economies – what works, what doesn’t, and why the gap between good data and good policy is so often wider than it should be.
Anna leads Ingenium’s research design, qualitative and stakeholder engagement work, and urban governance projects. She is a Research Fellow in Urban Analytics at the University of Melbourne’s Centre for Cities, and a trusted advisor to government on 24-hour economy policy.

Andrew License is a mathematician by training and one of Australia’s most experienced practitioners in economic and social data analysis. He has spent over 15 years translating complex datasets into the kind of clear, confident insights that policy decisions can actually be built on.
Andrew co-developed the Night Mix Index methodology for the Australian market and led the analytical work on the first ever cost-benefit analysis of a night time economy, for the City of Sydney in 2011. He has been at the centre of every major NTE measurement programme Ingenium has delivered since.
He leads Ingenium’s quantitative analysis work, data architecture and visualisation programmes – and is equally at home building a complex multi-source dataset from scratch or presenting findings to a room full of senior officials who need to make a decision by the end of the meeting.

Terry Bevan is the co-creator of the Night Mix Index – the analytical framework that has underpinned night time economy measurement across the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand since 2009. It is not an overstatement to say that modern NTE economics, as a rigorous discipline, began with the NMI.
A London School of Economics-educated economist, Terry spent the early part of his career as CEO and General Manager in a series of international blue-chip companies before turning his attention to the economics of night time cities. In 2009, working with Alistair Turnham of MAKE Associates, he developed the Night Mix Index as a way of bringing economic rigour to a sector that had previously been measured only by anecdote and assertion.
Terry led the Westminster City Council Cost Benefit Analysis of the NTE in 2014, provided evidence to the GLA Night Time Commission, and has been central to every major Australian NTE measurement programme Ingenium has undertaken.
