Discover the Buyers Matchmaking Platform

What is it about?

The Buyers Matchmaking Platform is a digital business matchmaking platform that enables targeted connections between supply and demand, allowing buyers and sellers to plan and manage their B2B meeting schedules.
Buyers and sellers are profiled according to company type, size, country of origin, products and solutions, objective.

How does it work?

Buyers and sellers can access the Buyers Matchmaking Platform to complete their profile:

  • they can contact the operators present by selecting them thanks to an effective search engine;
  • once the appointments have been confirmed, the system generates an agenda that allows the buyer to arrive at the fair with a precise schedule of meetings at the stands

What are the key benefits?

During Ecomondo, appointments last approximately 25 minutes and take place directly at exhibitors’ booths, making it easy to connect with the right contacts in a focused and efficient way.

Through this platform, you can register, arrange and manage your appointments with exhibitors online, helping you make the most of your time at the event and create targeted business and networking opportunities.
