Activities of Alliance experts

What Alliance experts did in order to achieve this result, was the following:

  • Each Indian company profile was studied
  • We searched for similar Iranian companies
  • In total 32 related associations and unions were contacted
  • This resulted in a matchmaking database
  • We sent the info of the relevant Indian companies to the Iranian companies
  • We filtered out those Iranian companies who were not interested, the selected Iranian companies registered for the B2B meetings
  • All Iranian companies were informed of date and time for their individual B2B meetings

Lessons learned

What are the recommendations from this event for other matchmakings?

  • Timing: The process of B2B meetings should be begin at least 2 months before the actual date of the meetings
  • Location: Participants in this case had problems with finding the venue, this can severely disturb the meeting schedule
  • Advertisement: the more widespread advertisement is being done for the event, the better the choice of companies.
  • Match-making: We noticed that we needed more accurate information about the Indian companies than initially provided in order to target similar Iranian companies.
