Testimonials from our main contractors: Match Industry event is an excellent and well organized opportunity to meet all the suppliers in one place. It’s a compact event and time well spent. There aren’t any extra distractions, it’s all about meeting the people face-to-face to talk about potential business opportunities.

Heidi Palmgren CEO, Kvaerner Finland Ltd. It’s great that the main contractors can choose the most interesting suppliers themselves from the participants listings provided by the organisator. In addition, new contacts could be found at the non-stop meeting table. There has been interesting themes in the MI event over the years. Marine industry has been complemented in an interesting way with other industries like nuclear, automation etc.
