The Climate Technology Centre and Network, in partnership with the Asian Development Bank and with support from the European Commission, is organizing a matchmaking event for the National Designated Entities (NDEs), regional partners and network members. The event builds on the successes of the matchmaking events organized by the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) and will include an online profile and meeting brokering element along with in-session workshops. The matchmaking event will be held at the margins of the Asia Clean Energy Forum 2019 in Manila, Philippines. The focus of the event: energy efficiency, clean energy and renewable energy technologies.

The matchmaking event will make use of an online platform on which NDEs, development organizations and businesses can upload their funded climate technology needs in form of requests, and participants to the matchmaking event can submit Expression of Interests for pitch meetings based on the technologies and approaches they have to offer.  

This platform will facilitate business-to-consumer matchmaking for accelerated climate change solutions to the countries while meeting their commitments under Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC).

2. Selection and booking of bilateral meetings

On 06 May 2019, you can start to receive and send meeting requests to attendees you want to meet at the event. You will be informed by email about the start of the booking.

Browse in the list of participants or use the searching function to find interesting potential collaboration contacts.

Booking of bilateral meetings: Once you have found the most promising meeting partners you can select them for bilateral meetings. Use the green button "request meeting" which you can find on each participants profile. You can schedule up to 10 meetings, but please be aware that the bookings are managed on the principle "first come - first served".

Answer your incoming meeting requests. Select the tab "Meetings" to list all meeting requests. Use the button “Accept” or "Decline", respectively.

Your personal meeting schedule provides information about who you are going to meet, the round number of your meeting and the table number to find your meeting partner. When logged in to your matchmaking profile, you can view your updated meeting schedule under the tab "Agenda" at any time.

3. At the matchmaking event

During the event, the matchmaking mobile app allows you to manage your meetings or view your personal meeting schedule wherever you are. Install the free matchmaking mobile app via the app store.

At the Matchmaking Information Desk, you will receive an updated version of your meeting schedule including last minute bookings whenever needed. Your personal meeting schedule shows for each meeting the name of your meeting partner, the time and the number of tables for each meeting. Stick to your meeting schedule so your potential collaboration partner does not have to wait for you.
