QUESTION: actually it is a a new company with paper work process, no systems. So this meeting is like the start

Answer
First you need to have the company's objectives in hand as to where they want to be.
Next, what skills etc will be required,
Next what are our current skill set are the people we have now developable, how do we get them there. If our current staff is not what we will need then what is the plan to acquire and retain that talent.
I think if you have the answers or at least an idea of the answers to these questions you will be well on the way.
As to what are the opportunities for the company that is a strategic marketing question. Your role is to support those objectives not to create them. The hurdles and issues from an HR standpoint will be obvious after the answers to the above are available.
Hope this helps.
If you need more let me know but I think the above will keep you quite busy.
