Practical advice for B2B prospecting at CFIA Rennes 2027
- Set clear objectives. Identify three solution types you need to validate on site and locate relevant exhibitors in the event list.
- Target by role. Tailor outreach to procurement, quality and production managers. Technical arguments often open doors in this sector.
- Use thematic areas strategically. Visiting the Village IA and joining Tours Innovation reduces evaluation time by showing live demos.
- Bring technical dossiers and short case metrics. One-page comparisons and measurable benefits help move conversations toward pilot agreements.
