Virtual B2B Matching

For more than a decade, we have facilitated b2b matching through tradeshows and other business events. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have added virtual matching as an online and sustainable solution. It is a service that leading international tradeshows already offered over the last few years.

We make such online b2b matching services accessible to other organisations like associations, chambers of commerce that also run tradeshows and business matching events.
In November 2021, we have set up a virtual matchmaking platform and event for 16 African countries as part of an EU sponsored programme.

Our virtual matching service includes:

  • turn-key development of virtual matching platforms with databases of buyers and suppliers
  • identification and profiling of interested buyers and suppliers
  • warming up of leads
  • preparation of meeting agendas
  • facilitation of virtual business meetings
  • coaching of suppliers on their promotion, presentation and pitch
  • organization of webinar programs and virtual events around the matchmaking
  • coaching of business support organisations to manage the matching platform
