b2match

b2match is an event management platform centred on business networking, operated by B2Match GmbH, which is headquartered in Vienna, Austria, and also has an office in Zagreb. It grew out of the experience of two European project managers at FFG who saw organisers scheduling meetings by hand in spreadsheets; the company started in 2013 and added virtual events in 2020. It reports more than 8,500 events and 1.3 million networking meetings hosted.
