Moody's data solutions for education and innovation

Universities, research institutions, and business schools play a vital role in advancing knowledge, fostering innovation, and contributing to societal progress. Achieving these goals requires access to comprehensive, clear, and timely data.

Moody’s proprietary datasets and analytical tools can help support research projects, inform technology transfer strategies, and enhance curriculum — with global coverage, standardization, and analytics that go beyond what’s available in many open-source or general-purpose databases.
