Our core is submetering. We meter thermal energy, heat, and cooling energy, especially for the residential sector, as well as water, and we make sure that the data is transmitted also to the person who needs that information to see what has been consumed in a building and do the billing. The data can also be transmitted wirelessly or remotely once a day or at any other preferred frequency. Our main customers would probably be developers, construction companies, or utilities, so, the ones who supply water, gas, heat or cooling energy.
It is our first participation in AquaTherm in Baku. Our sales manager responsible for this area brought this idea to the table and we concluded that the market is attractive, there is a lot of construction happening in Azerbaijan, and we see that we could have some impact on that because at the end of the day what we do and the devices themselves help to give transparency to consumption and that ultimately helps reduce the CO2 footprint as it may change the behaviour on seeing how much thermal energy or water one really needs.
So, we are new to this market; we have no business here at all. We are trying to find new business partners, distributors, eventually direct customers also. We have some friends from Turkiye who are here with us and are our customers already. They have a good network here already and we will use that in both ways to attract more people.
The Expo Center is in a convenient location easy to get to without traffic jams. Access to the exhibition is also very easy and well-facilitated through different quick visitor registration options.
