What is BRANDmate?
The most unique meeting place for brands! BRANDmate brings together companies, brands and the people behind licence projects. New partnerships and extraordinary projects – the so-called ‘BRANDbabies’ – are created in a relaxed, inspiring atmosphere. It is the perfect place to make exciting contacts, exchange ideas and develop innovative co-operations together. Business meets creativity, networking meets knowledge – and all with an extra pinch of fun.
BRANDmate is a place where opportunities arise.
Toan Nguyen, Jung von Matt NERD
BRANDmate is the ideal place for brands looking for co-operation partners in industry or retail. In this ambience, every sales talk becomes a friend request 😉.
Peter Bichler, CEO Lizenzwerft
BRANDmate means going there with ideas and coming back with ideas. It was a cool event that once again took us a step forward. Especially with the support of the networking software, it’s easy to make new connections…Keep it up!
