Matchmaking events - How do they work?
A matchmaking event is an effective, efficient and easy way to connect and start meaningful conversations with potential cooperation partners. 20 minute meetings provide a perfect amount of time to identify synergies and common goals which can then be explored further in follow up discussions.
1) Registration
Register via the Register button.
2) Set up a profile
Your organisation
Create a clear and concise business profile to raise your visibility on the platform. Your profile should describe your company, technology, what you can offer to potential partners and who you want to meet.
Your marketplace
Use different options to provide more detail about your product, expertise, partnership and project opportunities. Completing information here enables others to quickly identify synergies and will significantly improve your experience and potential to meet people of genuine interest.
Activating your profile
Your profile will be reviewed and activated by the organisers once it meets the necessary standard.
3) Browse profiles of attendees
Go to the participants list to find out who is offering interesting and promising business opportunities.
4) Send & receive meeting requests
Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet during the event. Add a short message outlining why you are interested in a meeting as this will generate more positive responses.
Promptly accept (or decline) meeting requests. Think carefully before declining a meeting. Experience tells us that meetings that seem to be less well matched often end up being the most productive.
Only meetings that are accepted will be scheduled.
5) Matchmaking Event
Access your meetings in My Agenda or Meetings, where you have your complete schedule for the event and the list of your meetings.
TIP: Download the "b2match" mobile app (iOS/Android) to

Participants should arrive at the venue in good time and book in with the organiser who will provide further instructions.
