This online matchmaking platform enables participants to:

• Create a profile for themselves and their organisation
• Showcase their expertise or services
• Find new partners to complete or strengthen a proposal
• Join existing consortia aligned with their knowledge or interests
• Discover co-funding opportunities from public and private funders
• Schedule 1:1 virtual meetings with other participants

Who can join?

The platform is open to a wide range of stakeholders, including:

• Potential partners interested in joining a project consortium
• Funders exploring opportunities for co-investment in global health
• Proposal coordinators and scientific leaders preparing for the second stage of the call
  Proposal coordinators and scientific leaders will be able to publicise their project proposals once the results of the first-stage evaluation are published in July 2025. In the meantime, you are encouraged to register and use the platform as potential partners.

Access and availability

Participation is free of charge, and the platform is available in English and French. It will remain active until the deadline for second-stage proposal submissions.

Organisations are encouraged to register early, complete their profiles, and begin exploring opportunities for collaboration.

2026 and beyond

A new networking platform is foreseen for the 2026 calls for proposals, building on the experience of the current platform. It will support future applicants in finding partners, forming consortia, and exploring co-funding opportunities.
