Our management team believes that the adoption of technology in the industrial sectors has traditionally evolved at a slower pace than most other industries. Our management team believes that this is due to large companies that have entrenched and siloed management teams and decision processes which discourage collaboration and adoption of new technologies. As such, many systems and practices are outdated and lack the efficiencies critical for long-term success in a technology enabled world. The accelerated need for advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (“AI”), remote and cloud management, visibility and analytics, as well as carbon capture and the general industrial internet of things (“IIoT”) capabilities for the industrial sectors. Consequently, our management believes that many customers and enterprises are actively embracing such technologies and that there are significant opportunities to pursue a business combination.
