French term or phrase: industrie ou encore nouvelles technologies
Obviously I get the gist, but for a promotional website info I am looking for the best way to word this. I have tried "manufacturing and even new technologies", but it does not sound very much like "marketing speak" to me. All the surrounding text is pretty standard.

Nos prestations RP couvrent de nombreux secteurs d’activité : beauté, mode, luxe, industrie ou encore nouvelles technologies.

Explanation:
You're right that "industrie" is usually best translated as "manufacturing". "Industry" is too vague.

Manufacturing and high-tech companies may be eligible for the research tax credit if they engage in product development research.

I would say "such as", since this is not a comprehensive list.

industry or even cutting-edge technologies


Explanation:
Suggest to use the general "industry" instead of manufacturing as it refers to the industrial sector and covers more than just manufacturing.

Suggest using "cutting-edge" or "newly emerging" to describe the technologies. Cutting-edge is snappier and more eye-catching in my opinion.

agree  Daryo: "cutting-edge" is first-class marketing speak!! Sounds doubleplusgood, who cares what it's supposed exactly to mean ...

neutral  Philippa Smith: "cutting-edge" is nice, but don't agree with "or even", which does not work at all in this sort of a list
4 hrs

neutral  Tony M: I agree with Philippa, 'or even' (more properly translates 'voire') is not right here and would sound really odd an unidiomatic. I also don't think 'cutting'edge' is correct here, as 'new technologies' refers to a specific sector, not necessarily c/edge.

agree  Philippa Smith: "high-tech" is nice! And yes to "such as", or "including"

neutral  Tony M: 'such as' would not be correct, since 'hi-tech' is not 'an example of' 'industry'; you were not clear, I thought you meant 'such as' for 'ou encore'

  -> I don't understand your comment. "Numerous sectors, such as beauty, fashion, luxury goods, manufacturing, and high-tech."
