We're confronted by too many blind spots when it comes to firms' supply chain relationships. Excited to spearhead @DIW_Berlin's cooperation in this new @BIS_org project where we hope to address some of these gaps with tons of new data and many amazing #trade experts🔍
The #BISInnovationHub’s Project Insight will explore the use of big data analytics and unstructured and structured data to build a global supply chain monitor. Insight is a collaboration of the BIS, @HKMA, @IMF, @WTO, @ADB, @OECD, @UN and @DIW_Berlin https://t.co/1uJadM9OAc
