How it works

Welcome to the matchmaking platform! Our goal is to facilitate strategic partnerships and collaboration among stakeholders active in the development and availability of medical countermeasures (MCMs) and in the production and supply of critical medicines and their active pharmaceutical ingredients. By connecting manufacturers, developers, distributors, importers, suppliers and other participants, the matchmaking platform helps streamline the process of finding suitable partners in fostering innovation across the medical supply chain. The platform works in the following way.

Registration

Begin your journey by registering on the platform. Start by creating an account and providing information about your business and contact details. Once you have set up your account, complete the verification process to ensure a secure and trustworthy environment for all users. After verification, you can customise your profile with key information about your business, including your areas of expertise and interest.

Publication of business profile

After registration, you can showcase your business by adding details about your capabilities, products, services, and past experiences to your profile. Highlight your strengths and innovative solutions in medical countermeasures. You also have the option to customise certain details of your profile, choosing which information to make visible to maintain confidentiality where necessary.

To join matchmaking you must be logged in as an administrator of your company and your organisation type must be eligible to participate in matchmaking.
