How to find partners for your idea?

The primary challenge faced by Unite! Seed Fund applicants has been finding potential international partners within the Unite! Alliance. A virtual matchmaking event will be organised with the aim of bringing into contact potential collaboration partners from the Unite! universities. Participation is recommended but not mandatory.
