Contact Us Make targeted international business contacts
At B2B events and matchmaking formats, you meet international companies in pre-arranged one-on-one meetings. Instead of hoping for chance encounters, you select contacts based on specific interests, industries, and cooperation goals.
HTH Styria Turning an event into a concrete business meeting
Trade fairs and international conferences bring many companies together in one place. Without clear conversation goals, suitable contacts, and fixed appointments, however, the business potential often goes unused.
B2B matchmaking creates a structured framework: companies present their offering in a profile, select interesting conversation partners, and arrange brief one-on-one meetings. This way, contact initiation begins before the event itself. The result is not an anonymous trade fair encounter, but a prepared conversation with a clear business overlap.

How B2B matchmaking works
Entering conversations with a clear profile
A good matchmaking experience begins before the first meeting. What matters is that other participants quickly understand what your company offers, what kind of partnership you’re seeking, and what concrete value a collaboration would bring.
Depending on the format, the ICS can support you in selecting suitable events, refining your contact goal, formulating your profile, and preparing for your meetings. No commitment or business deal can be guaranteed as a result; however, structured preparation increases the quality and relevance of the appointments.
