Creative Steps 2.0. process provides a great possibility for multiple networking for all participants. So, what does it mean for companies which participate?

One of the main goals of Creative Steps 2.0. is to help companies find networks and partners internationally. During Creative Steps 2.0 workshop there is a possibility for 2 companies from different countries to meet and cooperate on distance!
Thus, the workshop facilitates the matchmaking activity. What matchmaking means? It is a process where the first step is selecting 4 companies from the country of workshop organizers. These companies need to express their preferences for the matchmaking with the companies from abroad. After that matching companies from abroad are chosen (from other project partner countries).
Companies are divided into work pairs and each pair gets a student group (Creative Team) for business development help. At the beginning of workshop the purpose is to find a common background between the companies and form a mutual business case. These 2 companies work together through the workshop and their work in cooperation with other creative participants will result in joint business idea, innovative product or service.
Matchmaking of the companies gives them a great possibility to get to know each other, to start actual cooperation through joint work in workshop, to overcome the “distance” and cultural barriers.
