Importers and exporters are encouraged to seek out good information about the overseas markets they are looking to do business with.

It is quite easy to find broad information for overseas markets and industries. Finding more detailed information about overseas companies, markets and their people often requires the subtle insight a local researcher can uncover.

For reliable overseas market information, it is ideal to tap into research experts in the local area or country who can provide valuable context and texture about the market in their region.

The Association of Independent Information Professionals (AIIP) has over five hundred members located in over fifteen countries around the world – a great resource of expert researchers from Europe, Asia Pacific, United States, Canada and Latin America.

Everyday AIIP members tap into the knowledge of their overseas, and interstate, colleagues so they can quickly and confidently provide answers to their clients’ questions on research into markets outside their borders.

The trusted network of AIIP researchers around the world is a great benefit to many companies who need to be introduced to skilled researchers in other countries to manage their confidential and market sensitive business research projects to support their investment decisions.

Whether you are looking for overseas company information, background on people, industry trends or buying behaviour – researching overseas markets relies on more than simply accessing the information from your part of the world.

Expert researchers who know and understand their region bring valuable local knowledge to their business research projects, and can save your client time and money.
