We’ve been experimenting with AI-powered business matchmaking at Connect Nordics. It’s still early, and we’d love you to try it and tell us what you think.
Finding the right business partner in another country can be surprisingly difficult.
Maybe you’re a Bulgarian technology company looking for an integration partner in Finland. A manufacturer searching for distributors in Sweden. Or a Nordic company interested in finding development partners in Southeastern Europe.
You know what your business offers and where you’d like to grow. But finding the right people, understanding their interests, and starting a conversation can take a lot of time.
At Connect Nordics, helping businesses connect across the Nordic countries and Southeastern Europe is what we’re all about.
So we thought: could we make finding the right partners a little easier with AI?
Well, we’ve been giving it a try.
Meet the Connect Nordics Matchmaking Agent
We’ve built a working AI-powered matchmaking agent to help companies discover potential business partners across the two regions.
It starts with a company registration form. Tell us what your business does, what it offers, which markets interest you, and what kind of partner you’re hoping to find. That gives the agent something more useful to work with than a simple keyword search.
From Your Profile to Potential Partners
Once you’ve filled in your profile, the agent looks for relevant companies in our growing database, ranks potential matches, and helps you explore why they might be a good fit.
And it’s not just a list. You can have a conversation with the agent, ask about a particular company, compare potential partners, or explore opportunities in a specific market.
For example, you could ask:
“We’re a Bulgarian company developing industrial IoT solutions. Can you help us find potential integration partners in Finland?”
That’s exactly the kind of question we’re designing the agent to help answer.
Finding a Match Is Only the Beginning
A promising company on a screen is one thing. Building an international business relationship is quite another.
Markets have different expectations, business cultures, communication styles, and ways of making decisions. A good introduction, a little local context, and mutual trust can make all the difference.
That’s where the people behind Connect Nordics come in. Beyond the technology, our community aims to help companies bridge cultural gaps, understand each other’s markets, and make meaningful introductions when there’s a reason to connect.
AI can help identify the opportunity. People make the partnership happen.
Fancy Giving It a Try?
We’re not announcing a finished solution or promising perfect matches. We’re building, testing, and learning – and we would much rather learn from real companies than from our assumptions.
Here’s how to get involved:
- Register your company. Tell the agent what you do and the kind of partners you’re looking for.
- Explore your potential matches. Look at the suggestions, ask follow-up questions, and see whether any are worth a conversation.
- Give us your feedback. Tell us directly in the agent or contact the Connect Nordics team. What’s useful? What’s missing? What would make you come back?
And if a match looks promising, we can explore how Connect Nordics might help you with local context and the next introduction.
Maybe you’ll discover a useful business connection. Maybe you’ll help us improve the agent. Hopefully, both.

If you know a company looking to expand between the Nordics and Southeastern Europe, we’d be grateful if you passed this along.
We’re curious to see where this goes – and we’d love to build it with your feedback.
