“In the face of ever improved cost-performance ratios, product innovation is high on the list of every company in the solar and battery materials industry. There are literally millions to be made, but there are also millions to be lost without thorough market knowledge and evaluation of innovative material and component strategies.”
“There’s a lot at stake when defining the strategy to achieve a company’s overall aim. Through our unique combination of market insights, technological know-how and financial capabilities, we enable our clients to make the right strategic decisions to successfully participate in the growth of the cleantech segment.”
