From static PDFs to dynamic intelligence for Germany Trade & Invest

GTAI Wirtschaftsdaten Kompakt, the official economic data service of Germany Trade & Invest, already provided trusted economic information to stakeholders worldwide.

Together with 23degrees, the goal was to take that solid foundation and evolve it into an interactive intelligence platform: one that made data easier to explore, compare and act upon for investors, policymakers and researchers alike.

• Make data for 150+ countries easily explorable and comparable.
• Turn dense economic indicators into clear, interactive insights.
• Design a scalable system that keeps GTAI's credibility and brand standards.
• Deliver a seamless experience across desktop and mobile.

We created a full design system with 50+ components and 10+ tailored visualisation types, transforming static reports into an intuitive platform.

By interpreting how the database connected with user needs, the design bridged complex economic information with clear interactions, so that data and interface work seamlessly together. From information architecture to responsive interaction patterns, the design strategy ensured clarity, usability and scalability for future data expansion.

• End-to-end product design, from UX strategy to visual execution.
• Translated technical requirements into design solutions aligned with 23degrees' implementation strategy.
• Turned complex datasets into intuitive user journeys and clear information hierarchies.
• Built a modular component library and responsive framework to support future expansion.
• Designed comparison tools, export functions and source validation modals tailored to GTAI's needs.
• Delivered detailed specifications for a smooth developer hand-off and an on-time launch.

GTAI Wirtschaftsdaten Kompakt (Economic Data Compact) had long delivered reliable economic insights. With the new platform, the same international data sources become dynamic visualisations and side-by-side comparisons. What once meant scanning page after page is now clear, interactive and comparable.

The platform integrates data from 26+ global sources and delivers it through an intuitive, mobile-first interface.

Built on GTAI's strong data foundation and enhanced with interactive intelligence, insights are now faster, clearer and instantly actionable. With 23degrees' technology and strategic design execution, GTAI gained a platform that cuts hours of analysis down to minutes, enabling smarter decisions and greater impact for stakeholders worldwide.
