As Klaster IT (IT Cluster), for many years now, we have been supporting dynamic development of the IT sector in the Western Pomerania, sharing our knowledge, and initiating cooperation among businesses and institutions. We are now launching a project aimed at the development of Polish-German cross-border cooperation.
The pandemic has limited social and cultural cooperation at the border, and has significantly hindered contacts among organisations. Therefore, we organise a number of online events to facilitate contacts and develop cooperation among organisations operating in the area of Mecklenburg – Vorpommern/ Brandenburg / Poland.
You are welcome to participate in our matchmaking meeting to be held on 18 March 2021 (Thursday), between 13:00 and 15:15 hours.
During the meeting, the support organisations and businesses located at the border will be able to:
- present their business areas and find out about each other’s needs regarding joint ventures,
- exchange experiences regarding their mission and cooperation with the environment,
- develop further cross-border cooperation.
WHEN? 18 March 2021 at 13:00 – 15:15 hours (1 PM – 3.15 PM).
HOW? online
