EXECUTIVE SUMMARY MAKING THAT CONNECTION!
Collaboration is key to success at AAL, so the innovative matchmaking sessions at the Forum proved a popular part of the event
O
ne of the most exciting and well-received innovations at the AAL Forum 2015 was the matchmaking event, hosted by IWT and co-organised by
Enterprise Europe Network Flanders and iMinds in an effort to bring industry, researchers, investors and other key AAL stakeholders together for intimate, private meetings to discuss ideas for collaboration in the active and healthy ageing space. Delegates hoping to make these valuable
connections were able to complete an online profile before or during the event, outlining what they were looking for or what they could offer potential partners. The event proved highly popular, with the
team of matchmakers kept busy over two days bringing people together. Those seeking potential investors, deployers in the health and care sectors, and suppliers of AAL solutions all took advantage of the quiet space made available.

António Damasceno, CEO of Intellicare,
Portugal, was delighted with his time at the matchmaking event, requesting meetings himself as well as being asked to several by potential partners. “I have been looking for partners to do business with,” he said. “So I came to the Forum looking for companies with an offer that complements ours with a view to going to market together. I have found some potential partners and we have follow-up meetings scheduled for the next few weeks.
