The workshop will comprise training in three software packages:

These packages are used to analyse trade performance, including evaluating market share, the technology intensity of exports, product specialisation and competitiveness, among other indicators. The analysis of these indicators can assist trade experts, researchers and negotiators to better determine sectors and activities that are most competitive.
