The aim of the Europartnariat is, over 2-3 days, to bring approximately 2000 small and medium-sized companies together for them to meet and investigate possibilities for future long-term business relations. The matching and meeting plans are IT-based and the companies have 25 minutes to meet and discuss potential collaboration. A total of 10.000 meetings were held during the two days.
