Case Study: Department for the Economy NI
(using MND in the planning for Brexit)
How DfE used mobile network data to help plan for Brexit
The impact of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland has been one of the most complex and well-documented challenges arising from Brexit.
The Department for the Economy (DfE) needed to understand who was crossing the border on a daily basis, where they were going, how frequently and why. Citi Logik used anonymised mobile network data from Vodafone to give the DfE a representative picture.
