Made Tech has won a new contract with the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to continue developing and improving its data platform and analytical tools. Building on a 4-year partnership, this will help DBT gather richer data insights to shape trade and investment policies – critical in strengthening the UK’s position in a post-Brexit world.
Supporting DBT’s mission and economic growth
DBT plays a key role in driving economic growth, helping UK businesses expand internationally and attract global investment. Last year the department supported £862 billion in UK exports, working with experts worldwide to unlock new trade opportunities.
Accurate, accessible data underpins this success. It helps DBT to identify and work with the right businesses, track trade activity and make the right investment decisions. As one of DBT’s digital partners, Made Tech makes sure the department has the technology and insights needed to support these efforts at scale.
Through this new contract, Made Tech will:
- support the Department of Business and Trade’s CRM adoption and improve data quality, ensuring richer insights for trade policy.
- provide specialist data expertise to enhance DBT’s data platforms and analytical tools with new products and features.
- help DBT explore AI options to enhance decision-making and operational efficiency.
- deliver skills development and knowledge sharing, ensuring DBT’s teams get the most value from their data investments.
