There has been a huge interest in this event, and we regret to inform that it is now fully booked.

Why register?
22 million EUR is available for Norwegian-Croatian business partnership projects. This event will inform about these funding opportunities and serve as a platform to match with potential Norwegian project partners via speed-dating.

How does the matchmaking work?
At a matchmaking event, people meet and greet at high speed. Bilateral meetings take usually 20 to 30 minutes. Each participant registers with a cooperation profile which will be displayed at the event website. Each participant can online select meetings with other participants they would like to personally talk to. A few days before the event, each participant will receive a meeting schedule showing WHOM you will meet, WHEN and WHERE.
