Project Description


National Investment and Commerce Initiative or NICI is a modern gateway to connect investors, migrants and tourists to opportunities and services provided by the federal, state, and local government agencies. NICI's AWS based intelligent platform employs mature services such as machine learning, deep learning, speech and language services; while leveraging open datasets from private and government agencies and research institutions. Its intelligent design means it can self-learn to continuously adapt to the changing data and environment to provide the best available information and analysis to individuals in a fast and secure manner. A 360-degree feedback loop ensures NICI is not only able to assist individuals, but also help improve bodies, such as local councils, learn through feedback and improve its products and services.


Data Story


NICI leverages several open datasets (public and private) providing information on economic, demographic, environmental and social factors to assist potential investors, migrants and tourists with decision making. These include datasets such as:
• Stocktake of Australian Innovation Precincts to understand the potential opportunities for individuals and businesses in relation to viable relocation or investment options;
• Labour Markets Data to explore employment projections, internet job advertisements, labour market data like employment, unemployment, occupation and industry composition;
• ABS datasets such as Housing Affordability and Census data to understand social and demographic facts;
• Environmental datasets such as Water and Weather data to provide environmental insights; and
• Several other public and private data feeds such as LinkedIn, RP data, Traffic Volumes, to further enrich the information and services provided to the individual.
