The World Trade Center staff now has access to "Centradex", a compilation of numerous databases from private and public sources that puts an incredible amount of trade information into one place. Information includes trade statistics on a global scale, current industry information as well as company information for firms from all over the world, both public and privately held. We also have access to WorldTradeRef.com. Owned by the World Trade Press this online reference tool provides a lot of technical trade and "how-to" information. Other subscription based resources include CompanyReach, Stat-USA and of course the World Trade Centers Association website, which among other tools provides trade flow and pricing data from PIERS.
