Why Build With TWPG

TWPG converts FAOSTAT, FishStatJ, WTO/WITS, OECD-CRS, World Bank, and related datasets into decision-ready intelligence for ministers, negotiators, and investors working in agriculture, fisheries, trade, and development finance. Our dashboards sit at the center of trade negotiations, donor pipelines, and investment decisions across Africa and emerging markets.

You'll design, stress-test, and scale the intelligence architecture that governments, donors, and agribusinesses depend on. Your work doesn't end in a PDF, it ends in policy decisions, signed agreements, and capital flows. Whether you're an AI engineer, Power BI developer, WTO or trade lawyer, policy economist, or BD leader, your contribution maps directly to client outcomes that matter.

We're building a small senior bench that grows with TWPG as our dashboards evolve into subscription products, licensed toolkits, and co-branded platforms. Engagement is long-term and outcome-driven, focused on measurable policy and investment results, with equity available for senior partners helping shape the firm.
