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. 15 minutes run fast but usually it is enough to build first connections, then the bell rings and the next talk starts.
Onsite Matchmaking
Afternoon Session in the Erasmus 1 area from 15:40 to 17:00
Participants will have the opportunity to schedule 15 minute meetings with other participants before the beginning of the event. A dedicated matchmaking room will provide the necessary privacy to hold beneficial meetings.
The booking phase for matchmaking is open until May 15.
