**Description:** In this presentation, we’ll explore how data-driven dashboards can empower business owners to make strategic decisions on new locations based on demographic insights and competition. Starting with an interactive Power BI dashboard that visualizes Calgary's neighborhood data—population volumes, age demographics, and business density—I'll demonstrate how this tool was designed to support business owners in identifying optimal areas for growth. We’ll discuss the social impact of data in fostering local business success and then dive into the technical journey behind the dashboard.
