How is innovation distributed across South Yorkshire and within comparator areas?
Innovation Challenges – SY Office for Data Analytics Webinar
About this event
The South Yorkshire Office for Data Analytics (SYODA) is a collaborative pilot programme seeking to highlight the benefits of increased data sharing, and analytical capacity for evidence-based decision making by regional organisations and partners.
The SYODA pilot was established in response to a defined regional policy need and the belief that better data use leads to better evidence and results in better decisions. Directed and co-funded by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA), the pilot uses University of Sheffield expertise and analytics and aims to build the case for a permanent SYODA service.
The pilot stage has now concluded and we are hosting webinars to demonstrate the findings of the pilot projects. The webinars are an opportunity to find out about the SYODA and its potential impact across the region and to hear from the academics behind the successful pilot projects.

Innovation Challenges
How is innovation distributed across South Yorkshire and within comparator areas?
Led by Professor Vania Sena (Management School, University of Sheffield), Dr Jesse Matheson and Dr Enrico Vanino (Department of Economics, University of Sheffield), this project collates data on patents, jobs and UKRI funded research projects to visualise how innovation is distributed across South Yorkshire and within comparator areas.
Undertaken as part of the South Yorkshire Office for Data Analytics Pilot, this tool has been developed to respond to the SYMCA’s need to better understand the distribution of innovative activity within the region and to identify clusters of such activity.
