The Matchmaking Event (B2B) is organized by PRAXI Network (coordinator of Enterprise Europe Network-Hellas), and NANOTEXNOLOGY 2026, in order to provide an opportunity for transnational technology, business and research partnerships in the emerging fields of Nanotechnologies, Organic Electronics, and Nanomedicine. The event will take place on the 8th of July 2026 in Thessaloniki, Greece. The aim of the Matchmaking Event is to empower business and to facilitate collaboration meetings between technology developers and end users in order to foster technical and entrepreneurial cooperation in the fields of Nanotechnologies, Organic Electronics, Artificial Intelligence, Advanced Manufacturing, Bioelectronics and Nanomedicine.

Last year, in the framework of NANOTEXNOLOGY 2025, PRAXI Network, coordinator of the Enterprise Europe Network-Hellas, in collaboration with Nanotechnology Lab LTFN, organized successfully the NANOTEXNOLOGY 2025 Matchmaking Event, where more than 66 bilateral pre-arranged meetings were scheduled.

Researchers, Start-up companies and entrepreneurs from all over the world have the opportunity to explore research results, business cases and technology transfer collaborations, by arranging, in advance bilateral meetings. The matchmaking event is organized in order to take full advantage of the busy and creative environment of NANOTEXNOLOGY, aimed mostly towards attendees but also external companies and visitors from relevant industries.
