Buy Social Europe B2B consortium published a Meet the Buyer Event Guide – a comprehensive report, with proven tips and success stories on how to facilitate trade relationships and partnerships between buyers and suppliers across Europe.
Developing a robust social procurement B2B market involves connecting mainstream enterprises (buyers) with social enterprises (suppliers). ‘Meet the Buyer’ events are an excellent way to do this. Their central feature is a series of short pitches from social enterprises to mainstream enterprises, but they can also include additional elements, allowing buyers and suppliers to directly exchange information about existing products and services.
Led by true social procurement pioneers, Social Enterprise UK (SEUK), Buy Social Europe B2B has created a ‘Meet the Buyer Guide’. It builds on years of experience and multiple events hosted by SEUK and other consortium partners and provides a set of steps for a successful event.
