Becoming independent for my job, I'm composing a company name for my website and business card.
Background of this service: offer interim support to biomedical companies for marketdevelopment and positioning of their products. Obviously, the title has to be impeccable. However, I managed to create two questions related to this central title:

BOUDEWIJN E.: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT IN BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES

Question1: the word 'technology' covers already more than one product, but my feeling is 'technologies' fits better when indicating more products for any company I'm offering services

Question 2: Offering services in the area of technologies, I'm using the word 'in', but now rereading it, I'm wondering whether I have to use 'of', depite it sounds less strong for a dutch

Thanks in advance for your comments! ;-)

1 I think both could be used. Some may prefer technology, but I think there's a case for the plural.
2 In is OK. Of suggests the complete development to me and in suggests contributing to it.

I would have suggested "for".

Thanks, to both respondents: At least happy to know it is not that easy at the first glance.
As it will show up on business card, website etc., it makes sense to me to discuss this in detail.
So now I have to consider:

A: BOUDEWIJN E.: BUSINESSDEVELOPMENT IN BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES

B: BOUDEWIJN E.: BUSINESSDEVELOPMENT OF BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES

C: BOUDEWIJN E.: BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FOR BIOMEDICAL TECHNOLOGIES

Would C still be the 1st choice if my service applies to any product presented by any company in biomedical products. So I'm referring to any product (plural) in this market, for a company is it usually one product at a time to be developed.
regards,
Boudie
