How it works
Business Matchmaking is an ideal opportunity to initiate promising contacts in pre-arranged meetings.
Please use the CHROME browser to make sure you have no technical problems.
Step 1: Register
- Register using the green Register now button
- Select Participation Type
- Complete your profile
Insert your contact details and organisation description
Create a strong profile which will raise your visibility to others on this platform. Your profile should describe who you are, what you can offer to potential partners and who you want to meet. Make it clear and concise
A good profile will generate more relevant meetings
YOUR PROFILE WILL BE LIVE AND VISIBLE TO OTHERS - Plan your attendance - Select the sessions you wish to attend
- Plenary Session 9.30 - 11.00
- One-to-one meetings 1st Round 11.15 - 13.15
- One-to-one meetings 2nd Round 14.30 - 16.30
- Marketplace Opportunities
Publish your organisational focus and your collaboration wishes via the Marketplace. This enables participants to list their offer, request items and to search for suitable partners by using these items. Your profile will not be validated if you have not listed your collaboration wishes via the Marketplace. The better your profile, the more meeting requests you will receive - Registration for the matchmaking event is open until the end of the event but best to register early to get the most appropriate meetings
