Its strongest result is on Scaling, where it sits close to the national average, while Investment is the area where it falls furthest behind. Across Warwickshire's five authorities it ranks 5th, sitting 52 points below the county score of 999.",[87,88,89],"The composite score for Nuneaton and Bedworth is built from four pillars: Innovation, Scaling, Investment and ESG, weighted at 30%, 30%, 30% and 10% respectively, drawing on data for 5,725 active companies with corporate groups counted once.","Each score is an average across local companies, which means it reflects how active those companies are on measures such as patenting, equity-raising and headcount growth, rather than the sheer size of the local economy. That averaging is what makes it a fair comparison between authorities with very different numbers of businesses.","The UK as a whole scores 1,000, so any authority above that benchmark is outperforming the national average and any below it is underperforming. At 947, Nuneaton and Bedworth sits below that benchmark. The likely range of 933 to 961 shows how much the score could shift with a slightly different mix of companies; because that range is narrow enough to rely on, the score is published.",{"innovation":91,"scaling":92,"investment":93,"esg":94},"Innovation captures patents, academic spinouts, R&D grant value, innovative sector tagging and IS-8 sector classification. Nuneaton and Bedworth scores 930 on this pillar, 70 points below the UK benchmark, placing it 326th of 361 authorities and outperforming only 9.7% of the country. That result points to relatively limited patenting, R&D grant activity and innovative sector presence among its companies compared with the national picture.","Scaling measures whether companies are 20% scaleups, their annualised headcount growth over recent years, and accelerator attendance. At 997, Nuneaton and Bedworth is just 3 points below the UK benchmark and ranks 178th of 360 authorities, outperforming 50.6% of all authorities. This is the authority's strongest pillar and suggests its companies are adding staff at a rate broadly in line with the national average.","Investment covers equity raisers, the value of equity raised and first-time equity raisers over the last five years. A score of 905, 95 points below the UK benchmark, places Nuneaton and Bedworth 333rd of 360 authorities, outperforming just 7.5% of the country. This is the authority's weakest pillar, indicating that equity fundraising activity among local companies is substantially below the national norm.","ESG measures clean energy activity, other green activity, environmental accolades, social and governance signals, and not-for-profit proxy status. Nuneaton and Bedworth scores 970, placing it 298th of 361 authorities and 30 points below the UK benchmark. While still behind the national average, this is a more moderate gap than on Innovation or Investment.","The chart below places Nuneaton and Bedworth's composite score alongside the other authorities in Warwickshire.",[97,100,103,106,109,112],{"question":98,"answer":99},"What is Nuneaton and Bedworth's score on the UK Local Growth Index?","Nuneaton and Bedworth scores 947, which is 53 points below the UK benchmark of 1,000.
