PODIM 1:1

At the PODIM conference, we offer all participants the opportunity to potentially have a one-on-one meeting with the conference speakers. Each participant can suggest up to three speakers, adding a personal presentation, presentation of the company and their expectations for the mentor. If the presentation is convincing enough, we do our best to organize a mentoring meeting.

On the other hand, this is an excellent opportunity for everyone wishing to join a business team.

Start-up »speed dating«

Part of the PODIM2015 conference will also be “speed dating” between established and start-up companies of the region. Based on the previous best practice of linking investors and start-up companies, we are now also introducing a systematic and concrete strategic way of connecting new ventures with established market players.

One-on-one meetings will take place at the conference itself, however we will establish connections and transfer all key information beforehand. When establishing a potential partnership, we will additionally help with directions, suggestions and ideas, if needed.
