What is
Partnering system?

“Partnering” is a service that allows you to request appointments directly with targeted exhibitors or attendees prior to the show using the show's proprietary partnering system.

Appointments made through the system can be held during the show in a dedicated business meeting room in the partnering area of the venue.
This service is used for a wide range of purposes, including business connections for joint research and development, service proposals, and the in- and out-licensing of assets.

Why Use Parnering

The system allows you to approach target companies 3 months prior to the event through messaging and sharing files such as PDFs, so you can make more concrete proposals and exchange the most relevant information with them during the event. Furthermore, the system automatically schedules your meetings, reducing the burden of complicated planning.

This is the optimal participation method for strategically approaching your target audience.

When comparing partnering participants with (free) attendees in the exhibition hall, the proportion of those involved in drug discovery support, pharmaceuticals, and academia increases significantly.
In addition, the number of participants in the business development and R&D fields accounts for approximately 50% of the total, as many of them are eager to collaborate on joint research and development, propose services, and in-/out-license assets.
