# Austrade moved its prospectus from _PDF to interactive map_

Power BI lets investors explore projects. Power Apps and Dataverse help Austrade manage the source data.

The public experience

## Investors can explore projects instead of searching a yearly PDF

Austrade’s earlier prospectus was a static document. The digital version presents projects on an interactive map and lets users filter the public information.

> “The digital Australian Critical Mineral Prospectus has improved our ability to promote Australia’s critical mineral resources to a global audience. The shift to Power BI has provided data insights and incorporating Power Apps has increased our responsiveness. We’re able to update and deliver key information more efficiently to stakeholders.”

How the parts connect
