Technology Matchmaking is a service provided by Oost NV aimed to assist foreign companies in finding European business and research partners. Based upon your specific request our team is ready to help your organization to identify a suitable partner in East Netherlands. Services by Oost NV are offered in strict confidence, without obligation and free of charge.

Oost NV  provides easy access to extensive networks specifically in the sectors Agrofood, Life Sciences/Health and High Tech.  We  closely cooperate  with our colleagues of the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency  and the  Science and Technology Officers (Attaché’s for Science and Technology ) at the many foreign embassies  and consulates general of the Kingdom of the Netherlands . 

The matchmaking  project may  either be initiated by a technology offer or a technology request. 

Ultimately the services may result in one of the following types of collaboration:

1. Research and Development programs;
2. Technical cooperation;
3. Joint Venture agreements;
4. Manufacturing agreements;
5. License agreements.

Please note that matchmaking services are not applicable to fully developed product offerings, European customer base development, import/export initiatives or marketing research/support.

In order to take full advantage of the matchmaking service we require you to complete a Request For Information (RFI) questionnaire in order to define your needs. Based on this information, and provided the request falls within the scope of our matchmaking service, Oost NV will search within its network and provide a selection of suitable (technology) partners, which may include research institutes as well as private enterprises.
