Frequently asked
Industry questions
Which industries do you work in?
Technology and software, fintech and payments, semiconductors and electronics, manufacturing and industrial, automotive and mobility, aerospace and aviation, maritime and logistics, energy and sustainability, built environment and property, life sciences and health, food and agriculture, consumer brands and retail, travel, hospitality and events, and professional services. We work with B2B and B2B2C companies in all of them, and with the trade agencies, accelerators and investors who bring companies to Asia.
Is the work different in each industry?
The work is the same: find the buyers and partners whose situation has just changed, and get you in front of them. What changes is the language, the buyers and the signals that show who is ready.
What is a signal?
Something that has changed at a company and makes it likely to buy now: a new plant, a licence granted, a new leader, a tender, a disclosure deadline. We approach on the strength of it, rather than working through a list from the top.
Do you work with companies outside these industries?
Yes, if they sell to businesses. The industries on this page are not a closed list. A 15-minute call is the quickest way to find out if we can help.
