(Germany), Future Match offers various opportunities to establish new
cross-border contacts.
Since its establishment in 1999, Future Match offers
a platform for companies, academic organizations and research
institutions from numerous countries to discuss in face-to-face meetings
possibilities for technical cooperation and joint research projects. As
new host organization in 2009, the
Enterprise Europe Network is organizing the international partnering

Deutsche Messe
AG. All meetings will take place at the Future Match stand in the

meetings to make contacts and discuss technical collaboration, joint
development, research projects, manufacturing, marketing and licensing
agreements. This year, the success of the brokerage is guaranteed, with
already more than 590 company profiles registered on the official Future
Match website.
Quidgest´s participation in CeBIT 2007 marked an
important step for the company's internationalization. After
establishing more than 200 contacts two years ago, Quidgest is confident
in extending its partnering network at this year's Future Match.

CeBIT 2007 opens the way for
QuidNet |

Quidgest has chosen this journey to Hannover to launch QuidNet. This
project strongly supports the company’s expansion through Genio, its
technological platform of software generation. Quidgest’s International
Marketing Manager, Andreia de Jesus, explains: “QuidNet is a worldwide
network of high-tech partners using Genio to generate their own
solutions. For each region, there will be a partner with enough autonomy
to develop his own projects, with technological and business support and
know-how from Quidgest”. Potential partners for this project are
software developers, outsource providers, consulting firms,
service-focused companies, technology vendors, and entrepreneurs.

Genio is the key element behind QuidNet. This automatic software generator
is a competitive advantage of the highest importance, dramatically
reducing the time needed to develop software. More importantly, it helps
create bespoke software that fits the customer’s needs, rather than forcing
their business to adapt to software impositions. This “pull” approach
inverts the “push” strategy that dictates market rules: instead of
imposing its products, QuidNet partners will easily create unique
systems, adequate for each customer.
Quidgest was probably one of the companies with greater return at CeBIT. It
was a great opportunity to establish contacts, show last generation
technologies and encourage bilateral agreements. The main goal was,
indeed, to enlarge the QuidNet network based on the Genio platform.
Taking into account that this was Quidgest’s first time on the trade
fair, this was a safe bet: over 200 established contacts, which shall
enable the accomplishment, in half a year, of the company’s 2007 main
goal – to enlarge QuidNet.
This acceptance can be explained by Quidgest innovative concept: to share
Genio and not to sell it, a strategy that differs from other automatic
generation projects. In fact, this project is more than a reselling
strategy. QuidNet is structured to deliver technology and services that
provide competitive and cost-effective business solutions to our
partners. Sharing Genio allows partners to have autonomy to develop
their own solutions in a much more competitive way (less time, less
effort, less people), have access to a common “library” of software
solutions, modules and functionalities, and also contribute to the
improvement of Genio.
Along with its R&D, internationalization is currently one of Quidgest’s
main strategies. It had already had a good start with the opening of a
branch office in Barcelona and with the human resources management
project for the Government of East Timor. Quidgest’s presence at CeBIT
was another decisive step for the company’s internationalization
process.
