The Matchmaking Event (B2B) is organized by PRAXI Network (coordinator of Enterprise Europe Network), and NANOTEXNOLOGY 2024, in order to provide an opportunity for transnational technology, business and research partnerships in the emerging fields of Nanotechnologies, Organic Electronics, and Nanomedicine. The event will take place on the 3rd of July 2024 in Thessaloniki, Greece. |
Last year, in the framework of NANOTEXNOLOGY 2023, PRAXI Network, coordinator of the Enterprise Europe Network, in collaboration with Nanotechnology Lab LTFN, organized successfully the NANOTEXNOLOGY 2023 Matchmaking Event. The event took place in the exhibition area on Wednesday the 5th of July and it attracted 45 prearranged bilateral meetings.
Researchers, Start-up companies and entrepreneurs from all over the world had the opportunity to explore technological, business and technology transfer collaborations, by arranging, in advance, meetings with companies relevant to their interests. The whole process was designed to take full advantage of the busy and creative environment of the conference, aimed mostly towards attendees but also external companies and visitors from relevant industries.
