How It Works
A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners. People meet and greet at high speed. 20 minutes are usually enough to build connections, pinpoint collaboration interests and move on to the next talk.

Registration is quick and easy:
- If you are a registered on-site participant at the Research to reality conference, you will receive a dedicated link to register

2. Showcase your profile
Create a clear and concise profile to raise your visibility on the b2match platform. Highlights your expertise and what you can offer to potential partners, and what you are looking for.

3. Browse Attendees & the Marketplace
