Policy Intelligence ConversationFor economic development agencies, innovation agencies, ministries, and institutional decision-makers.
Why Market Intelligence is Critical for Public Decisions
Policy and funding decisions require precise market knowledge: Which industries are actually developing? How are public programs perceived? Where are genuine innovation potentials? Traditional studies and reports often deliver generic answers – too slow, too abstract, without signal evidence.
Critical questions in policy and funding: Are our programs reaching the right stakeholders? How is our location/cluster actually perceived? Which industries show real growth? Where should funding priorities lie? These questions require signal-based, methodologically precise market analyses.
VolzMarketing delivers market intelligence for public and institutional decisions: impact assessment of programs, cluster assessments, location perception analysis, funding impact validation – neutral, evidence-based, methodologically sound. No political recommendations, no normative evaluations – exclusively market and perception data as decision foundation.
Three Critical Intelligence Gaps in Public Programs
What's often missing in traditional studies and policy analyses
Program Design vs. Actual Perception
Funding programs are conceived, communicated, implemented. How they're actually perceived – by target groups, in relevant markets – often remains unchecked.
How is the program perceived? Does it reach the target group? Which terms do potential applicants use when searching?
Cluster Strategy vs. Market Reality
Cluster initiatives are based on strategic priorities. Whether actual market potential, demand, and visibility exist remains unchecked.
Is there actual demand in the cluster area? How digitally visible is the cluster? Which competitors dominate perception?
Location Marketing vs. External Perception
Location campaigns communicate strengths and USPs. How the location is actually perceived – by investors, AI systems, in target markets – is left out.
How is the location perceived by potential investors? In which contexts is it mentioned? What associations emerge?
