What are Contact Information Industries?

Industries are used to define specific segments of the economy that share highly similar business activities. Usually the number of industries that are defined can be in the hundreds, as each industry can be broken down into more specific industries. Therefore Industries have a hierarchical tree structure. Industries can be used as information in both companies and persons.

Industry Sectors can be used for Contact information (Person & Company)
