MATCHMAKING
How does the matchmaking works?
A matchmaking event is a quick and easy way to meet potential cooperation partners to judge a possible future collaboration. People meet and greet at high speed. A few minutes are usually enough to build connections, then the bell rings and the next meeting starts.
