Horizon Europe on-site Matchmaking for Cluster 6 - Calls 2026

A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners. Each meeting lasts 20 minutes – enough time to make first connections before moving to the next conversation.

Step 1) Registration

1. Click the green “Register now” button.

2. Enter your details as requested. An engaging pitch is highly recommended.

3. Select up to 10 topics where you are looking for partners or offering expertise.

4. Provide a clear English description of your organisation under: "Organisation Information > Organisation description"

5. Create at least one marketplace opportunity in English related to one of your selected topics (see Step 2). Detailed explanation below.

6. Registration is for an onsite event, we can only admit registrants who intend to come.

7. Once registered, please indicate which sessions you intend to visist (under Profile Dashboard > "Prepare your schedule" > "Add sessions")

Please note:
Registration alone does not guarantee acceptance to the on-site event.
Each profile will be checked by the organisers.
Only participants who meet all criteria will be validated and admitted.

Step 2 ) Create High-Quality Marketplace Opportunitie(s)

Your marketplace opportunities are your online business card.
They show others what you offer or what kind of partners you’re looking for. Well-written opportunities greatly increase your visibility and meeting requests – and are required for registration approval. Make your opportunities clear and concise. Your marketplace opportunities should describe who you are, what you can offer potential partners or what expertise you are looking for and who you would like to meet.

To create or edit your marketplace opportunites:

1. Log in to your B2Match account.

2. Select ‘Add opportunities’

3. Fill in the required information:

   • Title: Add the topic (max. 160 characters): e.g. CL6-2026-BIODIV-1. Titles with more than 160 characters do not get published.

   • Description: Give a short, informative, topic-specific summary of your project, technology, or expertise

     • Explain your role in the consortium.

     • Describe what kind of partner you are looking for.

   • Type of cooperation sought: Select Partner or Coordinator.

Remember: Your profile will stay visible on the event website for a long period even after the event.
