To Pro Helvetia's website

 

Matchmaking describes an active and targeted effort to bring together digital creation projects with investors, producers, publishers and others. In the context of an extremely competitive market, matchmaking had been proven to be a successful tool to help creative talents establish themselves in the field and find potential partners.

As Engagement Migros, closes a two-year Match-Making Module, the Migros Development Fund and Pro Helvetia are pleased to join forces to offer as many people as possible the fruits of the experience gained from this project. The accumulated know-how is now  available free of charge under the form of a «Matchmaking Cookbook», on Pro Helvetia’s website. This Cookbook will be helpful for any person interested in hosting matchmaking sessions within the fields of Interactive Media and Design.
As part of the «New models of collaboration – culture and economy» focus, Pro Helvetia will continue to develop the matchmaking format in the field of interactive media and extend it to design.
