B2Match | Matchmaking

This homepage is a 1:1 networking/matchmaking platform. It is an ideal way to initiate contacts with potential new international collaboration partners and an excellent opportunity to widen your network. The concept revolves around finding suitable partnerships of mutual interest for 2+2 project proposals.

All meetings arranged via this website are in the form of video calls. Additional participants can join the video meetings booked via the marketplace by sharing the browser link with them.
There is no personal meeting schedule other than what you arrange yourself.
You build your own agenda based on accepted meeting requests.

Accepted meeting requests will be scheduled according to mutual availability and preference. When sending a meeting request, you can propose the date and time for a 15, 30, 45, or 60-minute video call. Both parties can reschedule the date and time of the call if needed.

The function to book meetings will be made available from 01 March 2025, when a sufficient number of participants will have registered. You can continue to send and receive meeting requests to arrange more meetings before the proposal submission deadline.

Create Profile & Offers

You can then exchange messages or book video meetings with participants who are of interest to you.

To receive meeting requests, it is highly advisable to invest some minutes to write a profile and add offers to the marketplace which highlight what you can offer/require.

What is B2Match?

Please note that finding matches and initiating contacts between participants is also referred to as a Brokerage Event, Matchmaking or Partnering.

Effective partner meetings consist of 4 simple steps

To get started, register yourself, promote your project, and arrange meetings, please follow the 4 simple steps below:

During the registration, you are required to provide the following information:

Your organisation's profile
Your OFFER (Expertise and Project Cooperation) or Your REQUEST in the Marketplace

After registration, you can still edit your profile and add project cooperations, expertise, or requests to the marketplace.

All the information must be written in English. Users with profiles that are incomplete, unclear or irrelevant to the event will be contacted to solve the problem and they might also be rejected by the organisers.

Your profile is your opportunity to define the project idea or expertise you can offer (project cooperation/expertise) or what you are looking for (request). You can also tell others what you would like to discuss in meetings with potential partners.

You can submit as many OFFERS and REQUESTS as you want to the Marketplace, but do not include more than one OFFER or REQUEST on the same profile.

All profiles (Expertise, Project Cooperation & Requests) will be promoted within the Marketplace.

Profiles are the key to success at finding a collaborative partner to join the call, as interests will be generated based upon the information submitted against each profile entry. We would encourage all participants to submit, in as much detail as possible, the most accurate information against each submission when creating an OFFER or a REQUEST. All cooperation profiles will be published and visible for other registered users.

You will be able to search the Marketplace to identify suitable partnership opportunities.

Connecting with participants
You can initiate meetings or send messages to connect with other participants and vice versa.

BE ACTIVE, NOT REACTIVE!
Browse published participants profiles and send meeting requests to those you want to connect with. Adding a meaningful remark why you are interested in a meeting to increase the chance that your request will be accepted.

Your schedule
There is no personal meeting schedule other than what you arrange yourself. You build your own agenda based on accepted meeting requests. When sending a meeting request, you will be able to propose the date and time for a 15, 30, 45 or 60 minute video call. Date and time of the call can later be re-scheduled by both parties if needed.

Following a meeting and the initial exchange of project ideas and requirements with another participant, you can take the conversation to a channel of your choice.

You can continue to send meeting requests to other participants to arrange more meetings.
