Delivering a successful marketplace
To build a successful marketplace, you need a strong partner mobilizing local stakeholders, public authorities' endorsement, concrete projects, and focused business discussions. Invite-only participation ensures optimal matchmaking, emphasizing diversity, scalability, and financial viability.
