Technology Business Day

The Technology Business Day has been designed for marketing managers, sales executives, company directors and senior managers who wish to obtain selective information on the current status and future prospects of 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 different relevant sales regions is presented. Market forecasts are created on the basis of current technological developments and end user requirements. Moreover, industry experts take a closer look at challenges laser technology must face by using examples from individual branches of the industry. From this trends can be derived, those which will shape laser technology in the future.

The Technology Business Day is intended as a forum and platform for decision-makers who devise product and business strategies, and as such complements the more technically oriented aspects of the AKL´14 Congress. The participants of TBT´14 can continue to exchange their ideas and opinions in a more informal setting at the evening dinner directly afterwards.
