The IFA Business Days will offer trade visitors a wide range of options free of charge. Due to the great success last year, the IFA Business Days 2018 will again be carried out in cooperation with the Enterprise Europe Network for International Economic Development (EEN). In addition to the main organizers, there are already 22 co-organizers from 14 countries participating in the IFA Business Days 2018.

Targeted matchmaking meetings give exhibitors and visitors at IFA the opportunity to meet potential business partners that exactly match their needs. Meetings organized before the show help IFA participants to connect with each other. Shortly before the start of IFA you will receive a schedule with the confirmed dates. The Matchmaking App helps to match meetings during the show.

The matchmaking meetings take place from 31st August to 3rd September in the context of IFA Next in hall 26a and from 3rd to 5th September in the context of IFA Global Markets at STATION-Berlin. The matchmaking sessions on Sunday, September 2nd, also offer IFA + Summit participants the opportunity to network with each other, with other trade visitors or with exhibitors of the IFA.

As part of the Business Tours, selected exhibitors will be visited to present their products and services, as well as to give a special insight into the various topics of IFA NEXT in Hall 26a. IFA Global Markets offer two-hour lectures and workshops on various topics around the opportunities of global trade, such as September 5th, "International Intellectual Property Protection". Further information about the business sessions within the IFA Global Markets in STATION-Berlin can be obtained online.

As part of IFA NEXT, experts from the Enterprise Europe Network will also be sharing their knowledge with the participants at information events. The IFA Business Days are free of charge for all trade visitors with an IFA trade visitor ticket. Registration in advance is absolutely necessary as the places to participate are limited.
