Virtual matchmaking events - How do they work?

A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners. 20 minutes run fast, but they are enough to build first connections before the meeting ends and the next talk starts. 

1) Registration

Register via the Register button.

*If you have already expressed interest for participating via Biotech Atelier website, you do not need to register again for the matchmaking events. You will receive your log-in details via email.

2) Publish a business profile to showcase your needs

Create a clear and concise business profile to raise your visibility on the b2match platform.

Your profile should describe who you are, what your field of expertise is, what you can offer to potential partners, and who you want to meet. A good profile will generate significantly more meeting requests.

Go to the participants list to find out who is offering interesting and promising business opportunities.

Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to meet during the event.
