Problem & Motivation

Singapore is known to be a good test bed for business and innovation. However, with its ability to attract more and more business and innovation, it made decisions on what business to start in Singapore more difficult. Singapore's diversity and accessibility of various products makes it convenient for Singaporeans to purchase what they need and want. Hence, our data visualization project aims to help a business identify areas of better opportunities to start an online business.
