B2B Meetings - How does it work?


A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners online. 30 minutes run fast but it is enough to build first connections before the next talk starts.


1) Registration

Register via the green "Register now" button. 
Select the matchmaking sessions you wish to attend, so you will be able to book meetings in the matchmaking timeslots chosen by you.

2) Publish a business profile and a market place item

A clear and concise organization description and at least one clear marketplace item to raise your visibility on this platform is mandatory!
Your profile should describe who you are, what you can offer to potential partners and who you want to meet. A good profile will generate significantly more meeting requests. Your profile will be visible before, during and after the event.

3) Publish your offers or requests

Publish your organisational focus and your collaboration wishes in the marketplace which enables other participants to search for suitable partners.

4) Browse profiles of attendees

Find out who is offering interesting and promising business opportunities

5) Send & receive meeting requests

Be active not reactive. Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet at the event. Adding a meaningful remark why you are interested in a meeting will increase the chance that your request will be accepted. Usually, accepted meeting requests will be scheduled automatically. Thus you have immediate access to time and location of a meeting.

Booking rules: Everybody can send meeting requests to everyone.
Incoming meeting requests have to be accepted to be scheduled

    6) Matchmaking Event

    The participants can download their agenda and check the up-to-date meeting schedule online.

    TIP: Download the "b2match" mobile app (Google oder Apple Store) to
    * get access to your meeting schedule on your mobile phone
    * be informed about last-minute changes (bookings, cancellations)
    * manage additional meetings (send/receive/confirm requests)

    7) Follow-Up

    Please note; after the event, you will be asked for feedback regarding your meetings. Your feedback will help us to improve our services and assist you further, if required. Please inform your local Enterprise Europe Network Partner, if you initiate any cooperation as a result of WindEnergyMatch 2020.
