A good quality cup of coffee at their favourite café sounds like the perfect getaway. Thus, coffee machines “work” hard to deliver high quality coffee daily. Nevertheless, the question is if the coffee served is the best one it can possibly be. According to BibeCoffee almost half of the branded coffee is being diluted by Coffee Shops as coffee machines are frequently not properly maintained. To resolve this, BibeCoffee has created a platform which allows the user to monitor all coffee machines anytime and has plenty of features to optimise the coffee experience, such as device remote management, sales forecast, and automatic ordering to coffee roasters. Their vision is to become the one-platform-aggregator Approved by the Biggest Coffee Machine Manufacturers Worldwide | Trusted by Coca–Cola | award-winning | TRL9 | €3,5M sought to achieve commercial acceleration InSyBio | Biomedical Data-Analysis and Biomarkers Pharma and Nutrition companies need methods to research on and personalize their products, differentiate them from the competition, increase their sales with more targeted products and get informed-marketing and -sales decisions.

The Expo platform will provide a unique opportunity for women entrepreneurs (new, start-ups and established) to connect with national, multinational and global companies, business investors, mentors and other partners, and vice versa. With interactive and co-creation hubs, experimentation, idea-generation sessions, business-pitching labs, a showcase marketplace of women-owned business ventures, networking, peer-learning opportunities, mentoring support and much more, women entrepreneurs will design, refine and test prototype business plans.
