Many exciting new products have multiple applications.   To assess new markets, entrepreneurs need to balance multiple considerations such as importance to the customer, market size, ease of sales, development/deployment costs and product differentiation.  This session will discuss how experts prioritize these elements of a market assessment and their advice on how to approach a market assessment project.  This is intended to guide entrepreneurs in choosing which markets to target first and identify the keys to success as they go to market with their target customers.

There will be more than an hour of online networking via Zoom, available to registrants before the meeting, and a half hour networking post-meeting, that would give attendees the chance to “meet” virtually the speakers and moderator.
