Dealflow.eu’s Multicorporate Matchmaking activities, organised with EurA AG, are bringing together EU-funded innovators and innovations with investment- and innovation-driven Corporates headquartered in the EU to foster collaboration on different levels, namely:
- Further technological development (open innovation),
- Piloting of products/solutions,
- Purchase of solutions by corporate (commercial relation),
- Investment relation.
The pitching innovators will:
- Get privileged access to European leading companies – a straightforward way to reach larger deals;
- Meet strategic partners and customers to validate disruptive solutions and accelerate market penetration;
- Collaborate with business-relevant counterparts on solutions that can best fit the market.
