Industry Clusters make so much sense. Working with Industry Cluster data makes sense too – however, getting companies in your location to define the specific industry clusters they are in is challenging. Many companies define themselves in terms of which one or two NAICS codes best represent what they do, but that is hardly enough.

Now imagine having access to a data resource (aka: IBB) that defines companies at the (Porter) five forces “industry” level, giving a much more complete portrait of what the company actually does. Now add to the dream that each company line of business, aka: industry is categorized by its corresponding NAICS code, which in turn is categorized by its corresponding Industry Cluster and Subcluster. Load the data into a knowledge graph and the dream becomes magical as you can view companies like PepsiCo in terms of the IBB industries, NAICS codes, Cluster and Subcluster names, or by the international industry classification codes they compete in, such as NACE, ISIC, etc. More at https://www.industrykg.com/
