If there's a rush on companies using an emerging technology for a competitive advantage (like say - additive manufacture with unprecedented size using technology that replaces what was an un-economically viable (buit useful) material when crafted with a "conventional" subtractive manufacturing process) then don't compete with manufacturers in all sectors making products - sell them the means to use the technology and take a cut across a number of producers in diverse sectors.
