insight

Make new data accessible for exporters, trade advisers and policymakers.

Data of the new Export Potential and Product Diversification Indicator generated by the ITC should be made easily accessible.

ui/ux design

Find what you need in seconds.

We developed an interface that separated the huge dataset into products, markets and exporters. Secondly, the user can filter for specific countries, regions, products and sectors or explore the TOP 200 values easily.

DATA VISUALIZATION DESIGN

Get new perspectives with different data visualizations.

We designed different data visualizations for the same datasets to tell different stories such as the gap between the realized and export potential or the regional spread.

What we did

Explore new markets with radial dendrograms.

New visualization formats for trade development made the content even more interesting and fun to explore. 

WHAT WE DID

Poster for promotion.

We designed a poster mapping the product export potential in % for each country.

An interesting tool that was developed and designed specifically for companies that operate in developing countries and that helps these firms to achieve success in these regions.
