The fourth edition of free cooperation meetings will take place on September 22 during the POLAGRA FOOD trade fairs in Poznań. The meetings are organised by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development and are intended for entrepreneurs from the food industry. Poznan Science and Technology Park (PSTP) is a partner of the event along with several dozen of other centres of the Enterprise Europe Network.

The matchmaking event is a set of individual meetings with representatives of other brands from a given sector. The aim of the event is to facilitate networking and cooperation with potential contractors. The meetings are intended for representatives of the broadly defined food industry, including not only food and drink sector (manufacturers, distributors, importers) but also HoReCa (Hotel/Restaurant/Catering), food processing technologies, packaging, shop fitting and transport.

Registration is open until 7 September 2015.

When signing up for the event on the website please mark our centre as “support office” – “PL – Adam Mickiewicz University Foundation”. It will make it possible for us to support your company even to the greater extent in the process of selecting brands for individual meetings and during the meetings themselves.
