I do consulting research for the Global Commercialization Group at the University of Texas, and I have been assigned research on the commodity capacitor market to assess the difficulty of a foreign capacitor entering the US market.

They make an iterative improvement on an aluminum polymer capacitor, and I was looking to see if there was anyone that understood the process of getting commodity components to distributors and the best places to network, like trade shows.

Any thoughts, advice or referrals is appreciated.
