Company search: 

eMatch has an extensive network and experience in finding organizations according to the specifications of our clients.

Our work-process is briefly outlined below. 

1. Defining and structuring target segment: the first step is to clearify what types of companies you are looking for. If you is interested in a wider group of companies, we develop a so-callled domain-ontologi. The domian ontology is used to categorize the companies in the relevant  technology area, sector , or market segment of interest. To see an example of a domain ontology made for the clean-tech industry click here. 
2. Identify companies: we use our extensive network, the eMatch company database and third supplier tools, to identify  companies within our client's target segment.
3. Attract companies to attend: Our consultents assist the public agencies in attracting identified companies to attend planned event(s) through various means.
   • Direct contact with companies either by telephone or email.
