- instrumentation;
- automated process control systems;
- digital modeling;
- medicine-instrumentation, prosthetics;
- laser technologies;
- large electrical machines and electrical insulating materials;
- power electronics
Project teams can expect help with the market, customer, and monetization model issues.
