Technology Business Day

   

This event is directed at marketing managers, sales executives, company directors and senior managers who wish to obtain specialized information on the current status and future prospects of the laser technology markets. The information presented by industry insiders and market specialists is also of value to technology brokers, management consultants, market analysts and investors.

The European, American and Asian markets for laser products are analyzed on the basis of market studies. A breakdown of the relevant sales regions is presented. Market forecasts are drawn up on the basis of current technological developments and enduser requirements. A closer look is taken by industry experts using the example of individual branches of industry in order to meet the requirements of manufacturing applications. These are then translated into the trends that laser technology will follow in future years.

The Technology Business Day is intended as a forum and platform for decision-makers tasked with devising product and business strategies, and as such forms a complement to the more technically oriented aspects of the AKL´10 Congress. An evening dinner rounds off the Technology Business Day, allowing participants to continue their exchange of ideas and opinions in an informal setting.
