We are a commercial research lab on a mission to decode how technology is reshaping the global economy. At The Economic Development Lab, we dive deep to uncover insights at the cutting edge of economics and innovation.

From AI and automation to Fintech and the future of work, we track the trends and share what matters. Our work is built for decision-makers, founders, analysts and anyone who wants to understand trends shaping the future.

We also present Economic Development Index (EDI) and track economic development across countries and borders in four continents. This index is new and it reflects development in the global context. Economic development is a complex and dynamic process. There is no common definition for the term. We define economic development as a qualitative, positive and inclusive change in an economy aimed at the reproduction of the economy.

We believe research shouldn't sit on a shelf. It should drive action. That’s why we focus on clarity, relevance, and real-world outcomes. Backed by economists, we're here to connect the dots between disruption and opportunity. 

You can subscribe and access to the new Economic Development Index as well as our research focusing on technological advancement that matters for economic development.
