The process of internationalization and partner search for companies has evolved significantly with new tools, moving beyond sole reliance on attending trade fairs. Increasingly, businesses are utilizing B2B meetings to efficiently identify international clients, suppliers, technological partners, or collaborators through pre-arranged meetings.
These business gatherings bring together organizations with shared interests, facilitating bilateral meetings for initial contact. Available information on participants allows interested companies to pre-select agents or businesses they wish to meet, thereby optimizing time and increasing the potential for generating genuine collaboration opportunities. The range of Brokerage Events caters to various business profiles, from highly specialized sector-specific meetings to transversal events focusing on trends like sustainability or digitalization.
Participation in these events not only yields new contacts but also provides valuable insights into market trends, emerging technologies applicable to the sector, key players, and opportunities in international markets. Brokerage Events thus serve as a vital source of knowledge and market intelligence, complementing companies' commercial activities. Their flexibility, with in-person, online, or hybrid formats, allows each company to find the formula that best suits its needs.
Brokerage Events are a service offered by Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), a European network supporting SMEs. Many Basque companies engage in these B2B actions to boost their international growth, foster new commercial and technological alliances, and access business opportunities. The Chamber of Bilbao, as an EEN member, collaborates in organizing various Brokerage Events throughout the year, covering diverse themes such as cold and frozen solutions, the digital environment, cybersecurity, the Internet of Things, and renewable energies.
