As matchmaker for startups and established companies, we were able to support EMO Hannover with new networking solutions (see also Startup Matchmaking). We have:

• Company representatives and the startups were asked about their specific needs.
• Participants won for a startup matchmaking and common dates
• Created an overview of the about 40 startups that were in a designated startup area and identified another 40 startups that were distributed throughout the show
• Organized a personal 1-to-1 meeting with relevant contacts at a designated trade fair stand
• Held a talk on successful cooperation between startups and metalworking companies

“At a trade fair, especially EMO Hannover, startups have the opportunity to make direct contact with over 2000 exhibitors who can become potential partners. Especially in the industrial scene, the fair is an ideal platform, as you can network directly with established companies. But this networking is still difficult for some young companies and it is all the more valuable if you create sophisticated matchmaking offers like we do – implemented by Ambivation. We can thus establish a simple and quick exchange between new founders and interested investors, but also with established companies. This offers our visitors and regular exhibitors a great added value, because they will find exactly the new solutions of the startups they were looking for – but would perhaps not have found them without the support of Ambivation”.
