Why participate in the Matchmaking?

The matchmaking event, Subcontractor Connect, is a unique, time and cost efficient opportunity to meet companies throughout Europe. This is a great opportunity for high quality suppliers and/or purchasers to meet potential partners in a short time by connecting through quality meetings.
