Matchmaking during the Annual Conference
Meet potential project partners at the Annual Conference, using a special matchmaking tool on offer from two Network Partners. You can use the tool to organise meetings with your colleagues during your stay in Strasbourg.
Handwerk International Baden-Württemberg and the Chambre de Commerce du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg are offering the Network the use of the b2fair tool, originally developed to allow enterprises to meet potential parters during international trade fairs.
You can use b2fair to identify and arrange a meeting with fellow Network Partners, if:
…you are searching for new project partners, partners for business missions, trade fairs, brokerage events etc;
…you are in contact with many Network Partners but have never met them face-to-face;
…you want to exchange with somebody from a specific region or sector;
…you are just curious about what other Partners do and how they are organised.
Please register on www.b2faironline.com/annualconference2008 in order to benefit from our pre-scheduled meetings. The participation in the matchmaking is offered by b2fair.
