Commissioned by: City of Hildesheim
As part of the funding programme “Smart Cities Model Projects”, which aims to develop exemplary solutions for the digital transformation of cities, the City of Hildesheim commissioned the IfM Bonn to carry out the “Business Locator” project.The objective is to establish a regional business database through which the City of Hildesheim’s economic development agency can centrally access all relevant information on companies operating in the region.
The foundation for this database is formed by publicly available website data of local businesses, which is systematically collected, analysed, and stored using web scraping techniques. User access will be provided via an intuitive and user-friendly web interface.
Project period: January 2025 – December 2026
