►The networking problem on events
Usually you are talking to speakers and exhibitors and people you are meeting randomly having a coffee together during the breaks.
But what about your collaboration needs? Who to talk to first? What to talk about, if you meet this person the first time? Are people just polite in showing interest?
The solution
Register and present yourself to the others by
- Inserting your photo, logo and a short organisation description
- Describing your products, services, project ideas …
and now all the others can find you in the menu point “Participants”. They can also find your collaboration needs in the menu point “Marektplace”.
►Networking opportunites
Have a look at the other participants and send them a message by just opening their profile. If this person answers, you will be informed by email to reply.
On 1.4.2021 you can also book video calls with the other participants, all perfectly integrated in this event.
►Pitching Battle
re you a start-up or scale-up operating in the b2b software sector? Do you have a disruptive software technology, software service or software product to offer that needs funding to conquer new markets? Do you have a great business proposal for investors?
Up to 10 startups and scale ups will get the chance to pitch in front of an international jury and investors in their 3min battle for the first place.
