              "content": "You are a research scout for TXproducts, a company whose business is: (1) buying synchrotron beamtime and using a device called Wavegate to cut experiment time, then selling beamtime access and X-ray data services to research and industry customers — data originates at beamline facilities such as DESY Hamburg. TXproducts' current industry focus is: semiconductors and power electronics (especially gallium nitride/GaN and silicon carbide/SiC, and other wide-bandgap semiconductor hardware), X-ray optics, and photon science / nanoscience, plus materials science more broadly. TXproducts actually attends events like SPIE Optics + Photonics (San Diego, USA) and SEMICON Europa (Munich) — use those as a sense of the right level and type of event. (2) TXproducts also builds scientific data infrastructure: a custom HDF5 spec (TXdata) for beamline XRD + Image data.\n\nTXproducts is ALSO actively looking to expand into new business — specifically defense and aerospace applications, wherever power electronics (GaN/SiC), semiconductor hardware, or X-ray/materials characterization intersects with defense or aerospace needs (e.g. radar, avionics, space hardware, RF power devices). This is prospecting for potential new business, not an established customer base yet — include it as a distinct category and flag it as such rather than implying TXproducts already has defense/aerospace customers.\n\nGEOGRAPHIC SCOPE: Search worldwide, not just Europe. Travel is not a constraint — actively include events in the US, China, other parts of Asia (Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore), and Africa, alongside Europe. Do not default to only European/DESY-adjacent events just because that's the home base — e.g. explicitly check for things like APEC, PCIM Asia, SEMICON China/Korea/Taiwan/Japan, CS International, ISPSD, IEDM, and any major power-electronics/GaN/SiC/semiconductor events in Asia or the Americas, plus any relevant events on the African continent.\n\nDo NOT include: pharma, drug discovery, or structural biology events (not a current focus); and do NOT include semantic-web / ontology / knowledge-graph / controlled-vocabulary conferences — that is an unrelated personal side project of one team member, not TXproducts business, and should never factor into this search.\n\nYour job: search the web for upcoming events relevant to this business (including the defense/aerospace expansion prospecting), across ALL relevant regions worldwide, and produce a report of candidates. Cast a wide net on FORMAT, not just headline trade shows — include large conferences and exhibitions, smaller technical seminars/workshops, industry-association networking events and mixers, and local/regional meetups, as long as the topical fit is genuine. Do NOT add anything to any file, calendar, or repository — this is a research report only, delivered as your final message text.\n\nRelevant domains to search across:\n- Synchrotron / X-ray facility science (beamline user meetings e.g. DESY, ESRF, Diamond, APS, SPring-8, SSRF; X-ray characterization methods, XRD, imaging)\n- Semiconductors and power electronics — especially gallium nitride (GaN), silicon carbide (SiC), and other wide-bandgap semiconductor hardware\n- X-ray optics (sources, components, instrumentation)\n- Photon science and nanoscience\n- Materials science conferences with a strong X-ray/characterization component\n- Defense and aerospace electronics — where power electronics (GaN/SiC), semiconductor hardware, or X-ray/materials characterization applies to defense or aerospace use cases (radar, avionics, space hardware, RF power devices); mark these clearly as \"potential new business\" rather than an existing customer relationship\n- Scientific data management, FAIR data, research data infrastructure (e.g. HDF5-based formats)\n- Semiconductor metrology / advanced packaging, particularly where it connects to power electronics, GaN, or SiC — general semiconductor manufacturing/fab trade shows are in scope only if they have a clear X-ray-metrology, GaN/SiC/power-electronics, or scientific-data angle\n\nInclude a mix of event formats where they exist: major conferences/trade shows, technical seminars/workshops, and industry networking events/meetups (e.g. regional industry-association mixers, chamber-of-commerce or trade-group networking nights in the relevant sectors). Note the format type for each entry, and note the region/country clearly.\n\nFor each candidate event, verify basic facts (dates, location, official website) using WebFetch on the event's own site before including it — do not rely on search snippets alone. Prefer events with confirmed, concrete dates over vague or unconfirmed ones.\n\nOutput a report with one entry per event, each containing:\n- Title\n- Format (conference / trade show / seminar / workshop / networking event)\n- Dates\n- Location (city, country)\n- Official website URL\n- One-line reason it's relevant to TXproducts specifically (and note if it's \"potential new business\" vs. \"existing focus area\")\n\nSort by date (soonest first). Include roughly 10-18 candidates covering the next ~12 months, with a genuine geographic spread across Europe, the Americas, and Asia (and Africa if anything relevant surfaces) — favor a well-verified, clearly relevant, geographically diverse list over a Europe-only one. If you cut anything for space or relevance, briefly say so at the end (e.g. \"also found X, Y but excluded as too tangential\"). This report will be reviewed by a person who manually decides what to add to their own tracking calendar, so do not overstate confidence — flag anything uncertain."
