Market Intelligence

Strategic intelligence and direct customer access through targeted event scouting and curated manufacturing workshops.

Key Challenges

Competitor overload at laser-industry events

Crowded events where meaningful connections are difficult to establish among numerous competitors.

Limited direct access to manufacturing decision-makers

Difficulty reaching the key stakeholders who make technology adoption decisions in manufacturing companies.

Market intelligence gaps across sectors

Incomplete understanding of market needs and opportunities across different manufacturing industries.

Service Overview

I deliver targeted intelligence and direct end-user engagement through two complementary services: in-depth scouting at industry events and curated, on-site manufacturing technology workshops.

Service 1: Targeted Industry Scouting

Phase 1

Pre-Event Intelligence

Strategic analysis of attendee lists, technology presentations, and market positioning to identify high-value targets and opportunities.

Phase 2

On-Site Engagement

Direct relationship building with key decision-makers, technology assessment, and competitive intelligence gathering through targeted conversations.

Phase 3

Post-Event Analysis

Comprehensive reporting on market trends, technology developments, and qualified prospect identification with actionable follow-up strategies.

Service 2: Manufacturing Technology Workshops

Pain Points Session

Facilitated discussions to identify specific manufacturing challenges and technology gaps with key stakeholders.

Technology Deep-Dive

Technical presentations and demonstrations of relevant laser and photonics solutions tailored to identified needs.

Collaborative Problem-Solving

Interactive sessions developing implementation strategies and technology roadmaps with manufacturing teams.

Target Industries

Semiconductor

Precision laser processing for wafer dicing, marking, and advanced packaging applications in semiconductor manufacturing.

Automotive/Aerospace

High-precision welding, cutting, and surface treatment technologies for lightweight materials and safety-critical components.

Medical Device

Sterile processing, micro-machining, and marking solutions for surgical instruments and implantable devices.

Advanced Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing, surface functionalisation, and precision machining across emerging technology sectors.

Bridging Science and Business

By combining on-the-ground event scouting with curated in-house workshops, I connect you directly to the people and insights that matter. This approach delivers both market intelligence and real customer access — turning conferences into qualified opportunities and workshops into actionable roadmaps.
