The purpose of the matchmaking events is to provide business opportunities for international cooperation at commercial, technological and research levels.

The Enterprise Europe Network is an EU initiative where the goal is to deliver innovation and internationalisation services to companies, especially Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). INESC TEC is part of the Portuguese consortium in this network which is now present in over 50 countries, and supported by more than 600 local organisations that provide a set of specialised services to support the development of business opportunities and the establishment of partnerships at an international scale to a universe of 25 million SME.

The network delivers customised support services and thematic information in the form of workshops, meetings, brokerage events, missions, profile disseminations and matchmaking events, through which organisations can promote international partnerships and guarantee a relevant place in their market.

Over 140 countries will be represented and 20 million visitors will be attending  the Expo Milano 2015.
