New Industry Dropdown

Nicole Gibson

We are looking to add a new industries of "Defence & Security" AND "Defence & Space" to our options, as this is needed from our funders at MCURES and we would like to be able to track it before the new year.

Yes, Defence & Security should be good (but again, would just want to be mindful of Defence vs Defense)... I see one company under "Defense & space" on the Company Details report here, which is where I'd pulled that from: https://data.riipen.com/dashboard/257-company-details-report?city=&company_%2523_employees=&company_created_at=&company_id_hashed=&company_name=&company_state=&company_type=&country=&email=&industry=defense+%26+space&le_completed_date=&level_up_min_le=&min_total_le=&non-sp_min_le=&province%252Fstate=&sp_total_min_le=&tab=417-company-details

Reshma Gouravajhala would the existing "Defence & Security" work ok?

Nicole Gibson Thanks for providing that list Nicole, the list as a whole is fairly different from our industry dropdown, this was one we elected not to align with MCURES/ESDC since they combine some industries we prefer to keep separate. I believe Tiago is currently taking the company profile's industry and transforming it to align to the MCURES or ESDC taxonomy in the data warehouse, which we'd continue to do for this new option.

Nicole Gibson can you provide us with the MCURES industry list? I can't recall what we've done for past incompatibilities, because I don't think our industry list is 1:1 with theirs.

FWIW we have Defense & Security as an industry currently, but not Defense & Space - we do have an existing "Airlines, Aviation & Aerospace", so Defense & Space feels overlapping of the other two.

It seems to exist as a dropdown for some programs, but not for AdON. I see "defense & security" and "defense & space" in the Company Details report here. Can we get this added across the board to be able to track, as Nicole mentioned? Also for the sake of data cleanliness, I'm realizing now that we probably want to use the 's' spelling rather than 'c' (for defense).
