B2B prospecting tactics at the show
- Define target segments
Segment targets by end market such as aerospace components, automotive lightweighting or defence applications and set a concrete objective per meeting: technical validation, pilot launch or commercial terms.
- Use the app to schedule meetings
Book slots via the event app and the Smart badge system. Sending a short meeting agenda increases engagement compared with generic requests.
- Bring concise technical materials
Prepare technical datasheets, test results and sector-specific case studies. For samples or parts, rehearse a ten-minute demo covering specification, manufacturing cycle and measurable outcomes.
- Assign roles at the stand
Designate a technical lead, a commercial closer and an operations contact to keep the schedule and follow-ups efficient.
- Structure post-show follow-up
Use templates for next steps: send specifications, propose pilot timelines and set test milestones. Rank leads by sector and decision-making power for prioritised follow-up.
- Attend Agora sessions strategically
Identify speakers and themes relevant to your offering and use citations from sessions to craft a more technical post-event approach.
Closing note
For suppliers of raw materials, manufacturing equipment or testing systems, Composites Spain 2026 presents an opportunity to benchmark solutions directly with buyers from aerospace and mobility sectors. Prepare measurable objectives, book meetings through the app and bring technical demonstrations that answer sector-specific questions.
