MPI: “The participating companies have been recognized as innovators in the industry and we are excited to offer a chance to discover and explore innovative technologies to meeting and event professionals during this very unique and interactive session!
The Criteria...what makes a technology "emergent"?
The review committee for this program consists of MPI members with a passion for meetings technology. Each company’s request to participate is carefully reviewed and selection is based on three basic criteria:
The new product or service has been developed, launched or significantly re-invented in the last 12 months (thus “emergent”).
The product or service already does or has the potential to, in the near future, directly affect the meetings and events industry.
The product or service has a hands-on aspect that attendees can interact with during this session.”
Having met the commercial targets as set forward by the Dutch Government, Badge2Match has secured the second and final tranche of a 400.000 euro loan under the so-called Borgstellingkrediet regeling.
