A month ago, we announced the launch of the onPanjiva program.  Through this program, information providers can apply to publish their information on the Panjiva platform — and anyone interested in promoting global trade transparency can nominate data providers to be onPanjiva.

With about a week and a half remaining for first round nominations (deadline is August 31st for data sources to be considered for inclusion in the fourth quarter of 2009), we want to take this opportunity to thank those who have nominated data sources.  We’ve been thrilled by the diversity of people making nominations, as well as by the diversity of nominations.

The last month has confirmed two of our key beliefs:

1. There are a lot of people interested in promoting transparency in global trade
2. There are a lot of sources of valuable information about companies around the world

Thank you!

For those who have not yet nominated data providers, there’s still time.  Until August 31st, you can nominate data sources for inclusion onPanjiva.  And, remember, if you are the first to nominate an information provider to be onPanjiva— and that information provider ultimately publishes information onPanjiva— your company will receive a year of free access to this information.
