NL National Company Day – Matchmaking Event
On Tuesday 19 May 2026, the NL National Company Day will take place during European Biomass Conference and Exhibition in The Hague, bringing together Dutch bioeconomy leaders and international stakeholders for a focused afternoon of networking and business development.

A dedicated moment for real connections
At the heart of the programme is the structured matchmaking event, designed to facilitate high-quality, pre-arranged one-to-one meetings between companies, investors, researchers and policymakers active in the bioeconomy.

Rather than informal networking alone, this session is built around efficiency and relevance:

  • Pre-scheduled meetings based on mutual interest
  • Short, focused sessions of 15 minutes
  • Multiple meeting rounds
  • A setting designed for up to 120 participants

This format allows participants to connect with a wide range of potential partners in a relatively short time, creating opportunities for concrete collaboration.
