Every signal is personalised to your strategic context – cross-checked against multiple sources, with full traceability. Delivered straight to Teams, WhatsApp, or email.

Industrial Automation

China Leads AI Infrastructure Build-Out Amidst Global Automation Surge

For a global automation technology leader, this signals both competitive pressure and market timing. Chinese firms are scaling AI-driven automation at pace – creating a window where European players must either accelerate their own AI integration or risk ceding ground in key growth markets.

  • Evaluate AI integration roadmap against Chinese competitors' pace
  • Assess partnership opportunities in APAC to maintain market position
Process Engineering

India-US Trade Pact Boosts Market Access for Machinery

For a European machinery and process engineering group, the India-US trade realignment creates a dual opportunity: improved conditions for European exports to India as tariff walls shift, and a chance to position as a preferred supplier before competitors adjust their go-to-market strategies.

  • Review India market-entry strategy under new tariff conditions
  • Monitor competitor moves in the Indian machinery segment over the next quarter
Surface Solutions & Additive Manufacturing

US Maritime Push Fuels Advanced Manufacturing Investment

For a global leader in surface solutions and additive manufacturing, the US maritime revitalisation programme represents a direct demand catalyst. Increased defence and commercial shipbuilding creates sustained pull for coating technologies and metal 3D printing – particularly where corrosion resistance and weight reduction are critical.

  • Quantify the addressable market from US shipbuilding contracts
  • Explore partnerships with US defence-qualified suppliers

Why Gopf

How We're Different

We monitor your niche, not the news

Generic tools miss 80% of what matters in manufacturing. We build custom pipelines for trade publications, patent databases, supplier announcements, and regional industry sources in multiple languages.

Continuous, not episodic

Strategy consultants deliver a snapshot. Markets move continuously. Gopf replaces CHF 150K+ in annual consulting spend with always-on intelligence that's never stale.

Every insight is traceable

No black boxes. Every signal links back to its original source. You can verify anything before presenting it to your board – exactly what high-stakes decisions require.

Delivered where you already work

No new platform to adopt. Intelligence arrives in Teams, WhatsApp, or email. Your team doesn't need to become analysts – they just need to stay informed.

"I was never better prepared for management meetings. I no longer need to read false signals and waste my time. Gopf provides me with what I need to know, shows me relevant sources, and different aspects on how the information affects our business."
– Business Development Manager, 350-person precision components manufacturer serving automotive OEMs

Gopf provides continuous strategic intelligence – monitoring your competitive landscape in real-time, filtering through your specific business context, and delivering actionable insights when strategic questions arise. It's the difference between a snapshot and a live feed.

We build custom data pipelines to monitor the sources that matter to manufacturing leaders – including trade publications, patent databases, regulatory filings, supplier announcements, and regional industry news in multiple languages. This includes hard-to-reach sources that generic intelligence tools miss entirely.
