B2B Meetings - How does it work?
A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners in face-2-face talks. 20 minutes run fast but it is enough to build first connections before the bell rings and the next talk starts.
1) Online Registration
- Register via the green "Register now" button in home page
- Registration open until October 6th 2020 at 13h00
- Choose attendance modules based on your availability and create your individual agenda
- Create your profile
Participation in the event is free of charge
I. Publish a profile to showcase your needs
- Create a clear business/tech profile about your organisation.
- Your profile will be reviewed before it is validated and published on the platform.
To validate your profile, we request:
- At least 1 Marketplace Entry
- A clear and complete Organization description
- You can update your profile, attendance, account settings and add other Marketplace entries at any given time.
II. Create your Marketplace
The Marketplace enables you to list your offer and request items and to search for suitable business partners based on these items. You can present your offer within the following categories:
- Product
- Service
- Partnership
- Project cooperation
- Investment Opportunity
- Expertise
- Request
At least one Marketplace entry is required for profile validation.
We suggest you create meaningful and attractive Marketplace items and remember: your profile is the FIRST impression other participants will get of you!
The meetings booking phase is already open when you register. Browse Participants list and request meetings! |
2. Promotion of Published Profiles
- All published (validated) profiles will be promoted by organisers and co-organisers. All event's participants will be able to view your profile and will browse the Marketplace.
- High-quality profiles are visited about 50-150 times BEFORE the event and will still be viewed AFTER.
3. Selection of bilateral meetings
You can start to actively request and accept meetings as soon as your profile is activated by the organizers.
Smart search options allow you to quickly identify the most suitable participants/ Marketplace profiles. In a few minutes you should be able to identify future potential partners.
I. Booking of bilateral meetings
Check which participant profiles are most promising and interesting for you in the Marketplace
- Filter cooperation profiles (with filters on the left column of the Participants page) and find the ones meeting your needs

You can add further meetings any time, but be aware that bookings are managed on the principle "first come - first served".
