Database Tools for Global Market Research
Undeniably, evaluating growth opportunities for your busines in international markets can be challenging. Thankfully, there are a wealth of database resources that exporters (big and small) can use to access data to support market evaluation and market selection decisions. Of value particularly for SME exporters, this session will highlight a number of free online databases that are easily accessed, and that can provide targeted information of value – i.e.
- key product-specific trade flow data (countries buying, selling, and insight into where U.S. companies are successfully making sales);
- country-level information about the economy, business environment, and what U.S. exporters need to know to successful enter the market
- country rankings linked to ease of doing business, corruption and risk
Why this matters to your business
Easy access to reliable and objective industry and country-level data better positions your company to make informed decisions and proactively evaluate global market opportunities that can better position your business for success.
Business challenges you may face without this knowledge
In the absence of having access to objective country and industry-specific data, your business runs the risk of making poor uninformed decisions, that can have high economic consequences. Stop reacting and better position your business to proactively guide its market expansion activities.

Comments
Excellent for those looking for secondary data on which to begin to make an export decision. A bit of an echo. Maybe more padding in the room?
Good to see presenter. Good use of examples. Repeats some information (e.g. Harmonized code description and use) at the beginning.
The webinar was excellent. Speaker had good resources and good demonstrations on the websites. I also liked her accent.
