AI-Powered Economic Development
Street Economics® is BusinessFlare’s AI-powered economic development suite. It runs on 30 years of working with more than 70 communities and applies the BusinessFlare approach to the places that need it.
This is not status quo, and it is not ivory tower. Street Economics delivers attainable, place-based economic development insights for the people doing the actual work on the ground. Think of it as having BusinessFlare as your personal economic development advisor without the consultant invoice. We did not invent local economic development. But we did find a different way of seeing it. The economy you already have is bigger than the one you are trying to import, and most cities have never named what is already there. Street Economics finds it, names it out loud, and shows you what to do with it.
Most communities do not need a consultant who charges six figures to tell them what they already know. They need ground-truth analysis, a framework that connects design to dollars, and the will to act on what they find. That is what Street Economics is built to do.
The meaningful economic development PhD is from the streets, not the seminar room and dissertation panel. We are honest about what AI can and cannot do, and we are honest about what other consultants in this field cannot do. Use Street Economics to get a clear read on your economic landscape, see where you stand, and find the opportunities that are already in front of you.
We add new tools and educational content on a regular cadence. The mission stays the same: give cities the intelligence they need to do this work without waiting for permission from anyone.
