Business Objectives

Some examples of diverse business objectives we have worked with our clients

Strategic

  • What are the emerging trends and most promising opportunities for glass supplier companies across industry developments such as drones, LiDAR sensors, 5G, water/air purification systems, etc.?
  • What should be our R&D and product strategy to provide sustainable chemical intermediate solutions based on recycling/renewable / bio-based / CO2 / other alternative feedstock to crude-based raw materials?
  • Which production technology we will have to out-develop to grab opportunities resulting from mega-trends; should we take the M&A route to build technical competencies?

Tactical

  • What are the market opportunities for bio-based co-polyester in hot-melt adhesive?
  • Which are the technology innovations related to carbon nanotube (CNT) based solutions in Li-ion batteries?
  • What would be the impact of binder-free anodes on the supply market of binders?
  • Who are the key customers for FDCA-based polymer in high barrier packaging?
  • What should be the Go-to-market strategy for leading European suppliers of technical ceramics in 3D printing?

Operational

  • Which bio-polymer suppliers are best positioned to supply sustainably to global brand owners?
  • Who are the most relevant solution/technology providers to ensure a smooth transition from virgin plastic to paper / wood-fiber packaging?
  • Which plastic recycling technologies (mechanical vs. chemical) would be more relevant for flexible packaging film/label producers?
