Dr. Jesper Jensen founded TECA TRAINING in 2005 to meet an increasing number of requests for training.
His research is within trade, climate and tax policy analysis. He has worked on trade with researchers in the Development Research Group of the World Bank since 1994 and completed work in places like Armenia, Iran, Kazakhstan, Russia, Tunisia, Tanzania.
