Our work was to contact speakers, trainers, organize tours, organize a conference, and register some attendees for the B2B sessions of the Colombia ICT Matchmaking Forum at Metro Toronto Convention Centre - Oct 28-29, 2015 As result, we implemented a different event for Procolombia, the training sessions on Oct 28 provided insights about the tech ecosystem in Canada, how to do business and marketing from a Canadian perspective. The ecosystem tours gave access to the Colombian companies to meet and interact with innovation centres, hubs and companies developing new technologies in different areas including video gaming and animation. The very first pitching session for Procolombia allowed to 10 Colombian startups to get a training session with a super coach and perform a good first pitching session for most of the startups participating this year. We provided a high level conference on Oct 29, with the participation of City of Toronto, the IT department of Scotiabank, investors and journalist. Finally we contributed with some companies for the B2B sessions, the major part of the Canadian companies came from Procolombia's sources. $12M in business and more than 500 appointments were performed during the Matchmaking session.
