what we do

We offer a range of services dependant on your company situation.

Particular Interest in Western Markets? 
Although ETNA is based in Western Europe, its current development focus is on Eastern Europe, Asia and Australasia.  Click on the link above to find out how ETNA can assist you.

Management Services
ETNA is able to provide managerial support services to young companies to help them find the path to profitability. The typical challenge is that the company cannot afford to employ a full management team while in its early stages, and yet it needs experience and know-how at these early stages in order to start down the right path. The wrong decisions at this stage can kill company later or lose it several millions in value.

ETNA can offer a range of services first-hand and will find / introduce partners that offer key skills. This can include:

  • Company administration
  • Raising finance
  • Strategic business planning
  • Finding the right executive and non-executive appointments and building a way of working together.
  • Project management
  • Business Development including entering new markets
  • International alliances and partnering
  • Deal making and negotiating
  • Intellectual Property Management
  • Due diligence on potential commercial projects
  • Revenue options for markets

ETNA provides these services in ways that can be delivered at distance. Often the best people to support the company are not located down the road.

ETNA operates on a scale that can suit emerging enterprises that need to manage their financial and operational development. Costs are kept down to that which is necessary, and this applies to the outsourced services we recommend.

Marketing & Organising Conferences & Trade Missions

ETNA partners organisations wishing to put on conferences or arrange trade missions and delegations to exhibitions

Life Science Focus

In the global life science industry, the tapestry of trade events, both private sector and government sponsored, is ever changing. This reflects the competitive market exploring the range of possible business models, and the diversity of government and regional strategies to grow their economy around the knowledge-driven focus of life sciences. Academic institutions are themselves often drivers of such ambition.

It also follows the life science market itself as it develops and embraces new markets, with new regions achieving global participation all the time, and with the boundaries shifting of mainstream business models around life sciences. New technological focuses and enabling strategies, such as nanotechnologies, stem cells and re-emerging gene therapy.

Events Marketing

The customer market and the sponsor markets for conferences, exhibitions, seminars and trade missions are ever changing. New types of company become interested all the time, and others move on. It is important to be able to tell which are now in a development phase in which there is a strong commitment to such activities and in which geographical and market crossroads they will be most interested.

Where to use external expertise

Organisers of such events will employ in-house the skills and resources for many of the aspects of such projects. But they need the market knowledge of the life science industry combined with a knowledge of the trade show / mission market. They also need such key ingredients as market databases. They need the contacts and ability to open doors within the major companies and within government organisations that will sponsor and welcome such activities. ETNA can offer the missing skills to complete a well-organised project. ETNA can advise on the management structure of the whole project, using its own in-house project management expertise and a knowledge of the different competences required to organise different types of events.

Where to use ETNA

ETNA is a partner with special skills and experience in all these aspects, able to complement the in–house project competences of the client partner.

ETNA offers:

  • huge databases of players interested in the life science market, all over the world, from investors and governments through companies large and small to academic research. This includes the service providers and the consultancies to this market.
  • methodology for analysing the competitive space for such events and identifying the opportunities and the targets for such events.
  • technological skills for e-marketing events and activities
  • contacts and connections with major players in all relevant sectors
  • six years of experience working on such events with some of the biggest private sector organisations in the field and with government and academic sponsors from all over the world
  • its own resource of market research conducted on previous projects and in on-going work for investor and company clients
  • e-marketing technology skills including the advertising resource of weekly and monthly newsletters that ETNA produces for the industry

ETNA is an accredited conference / event and mission partner to the UK and Swedish Governments and to the European Union and has on-going contracts for such services. ETNA is currently working on three other government sponsored projects across Europe and Asia .

ETNA already offers private sector services for exploring new markets companies, investors and service providers. We would be happy to discuss these new clients. We often organise these around the focus of trade events and government missions, because it helps to attract more attention from the target market. We can also customise tours specifically for single clients.
