GET.invest Matchmaking | Global Off-Grid Solar Forum & Expo 2026

GET.invest Matchmaking

The GET.invest Matchmaking provides participants with the opportunity to connect with potential business partners, public and private investors and policymakers in a series of selected pre-arranged personal meetings with a duration of 15 or 20 minutes to build first connections or deep-dive into business-related opportunites.

The proven GET.invest Matchmaking format offers: 

  • An online platform, where participants can present themselves and their business, browse the profiles of other attendees, and request meetings with a single click

  • A profile that puts what you do in front of every conference delegate, from ministries and regulators to investors, distributors and manufacturers

  • A free mobile app (available on the App Store and Google Play) where participants can manage their meetings when- and wherever they want

  • On-site personal assistance from the GET.invest Matchmaking team during the event

Create a Clear and Compelling Profile

Your profile is your first impression on the platform—make it count!

Keep it clear and concise, showing who you are, what you can offer, and who you want to meet. Add a short pitch, a biography and your areas of activity. Specific profiles attract significantly more meeting requests than merely complete ones.

Browse Participant Profiles

The platform’s matchmaking tool helps you find the most promising contacts.

Browse the participant list, use filters to narrow by sector,country or interest, and check 'My Matches' for suggestions generated from your profile. Engaging with suggested profiles can lead to valuable connections and unexpected opportunities.

Showcase Your Business Opportunities and Get More Requests

To elevate your profile and attract more meeting requests, present your opportunities in the Marketplace—whether products, services, projects, or areas of expertise. Entries can be added seamlessly through your Dashboard or directly from the list of opportunities.

Proactively highlighting your offerings positions you to connect with the right partners and transform initial interactions into valuable, long-term collaborations.

Start Networking Early: Make contact before Kigali

Don’t wait for the event to begin—start connecting with potential partners right away through a quick chat message. Send meeting requests to the delegates you want to see, and use the messaging function to introduce yourself. The best meetings in Kigali are usually the ones that started as a message weeks earlier.

When requesting a meeting, include a short description of what you’d like to discuss to enhance the acceptance rate of your request. Make the most of the structured one-on-one sessions by sending and accepting meeting requests that fit your goals. Being proactive helps turn these brief, focused meetings into valuable, long-term collaborations.

Bring the app with you

Install the free b2match mobile app (available on the App Store and Google Play) to manage your schedule, message other delegates, follow the agenda and receive updates from the organisers throughout the Forum.
