Thank you for a good meeting last week. Personally, I was impressed with the depth of information that your organization holds in several areas and it confirmed to me that there is both interest and opportunity to continue the collaboration that we started several years back.

Working with Lux has been excellent. They provide insightful information on a proactive and summarized basis, which is exactly what I need. The breadth and depth of emerging technology and market coverage provided as well as the discussions and exchanges with Lux analysts on topics of particular interest have been particularly valuable. The Lux engagement team has always been very helpful, too!

Our company was reviewing a new IoT offering from a vendor. We hired one of the Big 4 consultants to do a major review of the vendor offering, it was going to cost us $275k. The Lux report hype-busted the offering and it was enough that we canceled a $275k consulting project. Lux saved us $275k – that single report was worth the entire annual contract and then some.
Program Director, Business Strategy and Development, Fortune 500 Company
Feedback about Lux is very positive. I see Lux Research as an invaluable resource to help do my job more effectively and provide relevant advice to my business and corporate leadership.

As usual, Lux provided timely, thoughtful information in response to a challenging question about the interplay of technology, economics and rational choices in the question to solve big issues in energy [hybrids and EVs].
