Our mission, our team, and how we bring global trade data to the world
Our Purpose
tradeAltcomp was founded with a singular goal: to democratise access to the world's international trade statistics. From small export businesses to multinational corporations, economists to policymakers — everyone deserves access to the same high-quality data previously available only to well-resourced institutions.
We aggregate, normalise and present data from the United Nations Comtrade database and other official sources, making it searchable, visualisable, and exportable in seconds. No subscriptions to complex data portals, no manual data reconciliation — just clean, fast, authoritative trade intelligence.
