ℹ️ What is a Brokerage Event?

How does it work? The process

1. Online Registration 

• Register via the green "Register now" button in home page 
  • Registration open until 9 June 2021 at 13:00
• Choose attendance modules based on your availability and create your individual agenda
• Create your profile

Participation is free of charge

I. Publish a profile to showcase your needs

• Create a clear business/tech profile about your organisation.
• Your profile will be reviewed before it is validated and published on the platform. To validate profile, we request:
  • right participant type category (Company, Lab and Others; Cluster & Other cluster related actor) 
    
  • at least 1 Marketplace Entry (partnerships you offer/request)
  • a clear and complete Organization description
  • profile in English.
• You can update your profile, attendance, account settings and add other Marketplace entries at any given time.

II. Create your Marketplace

The Marketplace enables you to list your offer and request items and to search for suitable business partners based on these items. You can present your offer within the following categories: 

• Product 
• Service 
• Partnership 
• Project cooperation 
• Investment Opportunity 
• Expertise 
• Request 

At least one Marketplace entry is required for profile validation. 

We suggest you create meaningful and attractive Marketplace items and remember: your profile is the FIRST impression other participants will get of you! 

 2. Promotion of Published Profiles

• All published (validated) profiles will be promoted by organisers and co-organisers. All event's participants will be able to view your profile and will browse the Marketplace. 
• High-quality profiles are visited about 50-150 times BEFORE the event and will still be viewed AFTER.

3. Selection of bilateral meetings 

You can start to actively request and accept meetings as soon as your profile is activated by the organizers.

Smart search options allow you to quickly identify the most suitable participants/ Marketplace profiles. In a few minutes you should be able to identify future potential partners.

I. Booking of bilateral meetings

Check which participant profiles are most promising and interesting for you in the Marketplace

• Filter cooperation profiles (with filters on the left column of the Participants page) and find the ones meeting your needs
• Request meetings you are interested in as Host
• Receive meeting invitations from other participants as Guest

You can add further meetings any time, but be aware that bookings are managed on the principle "first come - first served". 

You can book meetings AND you can also be booked by other participants!

II. Your personal meeting schedule (your Agenda)

• Check your Agenda and Meetings tab on your personal profile area after Login online.
• You will receive your meeting schedule (time & table number, participant to meet) the day before the event.

4. Matchmaking Event (15, 16 and 17 June 2021)

• Check your meeting schedule online (including last minute variations). 
• Get ready at least 10 minutes before the start of your meeting. 
• Be mindful of other participants' time and remember to show up for your meetings. 
  • if you are not be able to attend a meeting due to unforeseen circumstances, please contact the Organisers or your Support Office and they will inform your counterpart.
