How to prepare B2B prospecting at Space 2026
Set clear objectives before arrival. Use the official exhibitor list to prioritize meetings and aim for 6 to 8 focused engagements per day. Prepare technical dossiers tailored to international partners and short case studies showing implementation timelines.
In negotiations emphasize three points: total cost of ownership, measurable gains in production or animal health and deployment schedules. Reserve time for farm visits arranged through the show to validate products under operational conditions.
