How does the matchmaking work?

At a matchmaking event people meet and greet at high speed. Bilateral meetings take usually 15 minutes, which is usually enough to forge business/research/technological connections. Then the bell rings and the next meeting starts.

Each participant registers with a cooperation profile which will be displayed at the event website. Each participant can select meetings online with other participants they would like to personally talk to. A few days before the event, each participant will receive a meeting schedule, showing WHO he will meet WHEN and WHERE.

What are the benefits of participating in the matchmaking event?

All participants can present their expertise/projects/technologies online already BEFORE the event. The cooperation profiles will be extensively promoted. Participants can get in contact with each other already before the event and know exactly who they will meet at the event. A matchmaking event therefore presents a very efficient and focused way of finding new collaboration partners.


How can I register to the event?

Click on the button 'Register' on the startpage to start the registration process


What type of information do I need to fill in the registration form?

  • Form 1: Event sessions, Remarks for the event organizers
  • Form 2: Contact data (Person and Company) - Give some information about the organisation you are working for, its focus and areas of activity.
  • Form 3: Collaboration profile (if you attend the matchmaking sessions) - essential to receive many and high qualified meeting requests. Properly fill in the cooperation profile and give details on e.g. technology/product/project, innovative aspects, current stage of development and the target partner sought. The cooperation profile is your virtual business card - the higher the quality, the more participants will select you for bilateral meetings!


Is it essential to publish a high quality collaboration profile?

  • Cooperation profiles give you the opportunity to publish and promote your collaboration wishes before and after the event.
  • Event participants but also any other web user can find and read your organisation details and your published cooperation wishes.
  • A statistical analysis of 500 matchmaking events showed that high quality profiles are visited about 50 to 150 times.
  • The better your profile the more meetings requests you will receive at the end.


Password?

You can choose a password during the registration.

Password forgotten?
Click on the  Login button. There you will find a link 'Forgot password?'. Use this link to receive a email with further instructions.

How to change the password?
Please log in with your Autologin link (you will find it in the mail you received after your registration) and go to 'Change Password'.


What is the meaning of 'support office'?

'Support Office' are in most cases Enterprise Europe Network offices (Chambers of Commerces, Technology agencies, etc.) who support companies in doing international business free of charge. If your region is not listed in the drop-down menue, please select 'Other'. 


Collaboration Profiles - Is it possible to insert more than one profile?

Yes, it is. Every participant has the possibility to insert several profiles. Please note that profiles are associated with participants.  The same organisation can be registered several times with different participants (contact persons). 


Is it possible to modify my profile?

Yes, it is. Log in via the Login button and you have received with your registration mail.  In your personal Dashboard you can use the tabs to modify any of the content you have already inserted.


Why do I receive no emails?

If you don't receive emails, you might need to check your SPAM folder.


How can I book meetings?

Booking is opened about 6 weeks before the event after most of the participants have registered. You will be informed by email about the start of the booking.

  1. Select the link 'Participants' from the main menue.
  2. Use the green button 'Book meetings' which you can find on each participants profile.


Can I refuse a meeting request?

Yes of course:

  1. In your Dashboard select the Tab 'Meetings' to list all meetings (Own bookings and Guest bookings).
  2. Use the button 'Reject' to refuse a meeting request.


This event is operated in Opt-Out booking mode (meeting requests are by default accepeted, but can be rejected) - What is the reason behind?
Experiences have shown that less than 10% of the meeting requests are usually rejected. Therefore the booking mode 'Opt-Out' keeps the burdon low for the majority (90%) of  participants, by not asking them to confirm a request they are going to  accept anyway. Results: less email traffic; less pending meeting requests
waiting for approval.


Why do I receive none or only a few meeting requests?

  • None?  Have you activated the B2B meeting checkboxes?
  • Only a few?  - The better your profile the more meetings requests you will receive. Often companies want to bypass the registration quickly and do not insert meaningful and qualitative  organisation descriptions and collaboration wishes (I am offering ..., I am looking for ...) A low quality profile doesn't animate other companies to get in contact with you ...


When will I get my personal meeting schedule?

  1. One week before the event you will receive a preliminary meeting schedule by email (contains most of the meetings)
  2. 2-3 days before the event you get your (more or less) final meeting schedule by email
  3. Tip: Use the free app to manage your meetings on site!
