Matchmaking

Our matchmaking service helps you meet the right people. We connect AgriFood companies with buyers, importers, and partners in international markets.

We organize tailored one-on-one meetings to help you grow in international AgriFood markets. From Business-to-Business (B2B) or Business-to-Government (B2G), we connect you with potential contacts and create real opportunities for international growth.

Whether you are an exporter ready to grow, a trade association that supports businesses, or a trade organization, with our strong network, we turn contacts into opportunities

✔ Meet potential buyers and partners ✔ Expand your network ✔ Explore new markets ✔ Create real business opportunities ✔ Build long-term business relationships

Successful matchmaking is not about many meetings. It’s about the right ones.

How we work: Step by step

We take the time to understand your company, products, and goals. Then, we carefully match you with businesses that fit your needs, whether you're looking for buyers, importers, or partners.

Before each meeting, we make sure both parties are fully prepared and informed. We focus on quality over quantity, so your meetings are targeted, efficient, and valuable. 

From goal to connection. Our structured and personal approach makes the difference.

Step 1: Define your needs

We talk about your (export) experience, product, goals, and target market.

Step 2: Find the right contacts

We use our strong AgriFood network to select high-potential matches.

Step 3: Prepare for success

Good preparation is key to success. We support you before, during, and after every meeting.

  • Market insights: Understand the market, the company, and the person you will meet
  • Preparation: We help you get ready. Know what to ask, what to offer, and which questions to expect.
  • Cultural awareness: Understanding business culture is key to a strong conversation

Step 4: Arrange the meetings

We organize one-on-one meetings, online or in-person, with a tailored agenda and profiles.

Step 5: Follow up

We guide you in the follow-up, so your meetings have the best chance of turning into real business opportunities.
