11th BME CEE Procurement and Supply Forum

To express your interest, log in or register and select the event under "Dashboard".

One of BME International’s biggest annual event will be organized for the 11^th time on the 30 Septemebr 2025. CEE Procurement and Supply Forum combines highly informative lectures by renowned procurement experts, discussions with extensive networking options and B2B matchmaking with suppliers from numerous Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries. We are particularly excited for this year’s edition as we are expanding our agenda with, among others, workshops, and more sourcing insights, like current developments and trends, thanks to our long-term partners from German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHKs).

With CEE Forum, BME is moving into the largest procurement region for buying companies. And although Central Eastern Europe market is already established, the possibilities are far from exhausted. If you want to discover its further potential and explore valuable opportunities for connecting with suppliers and gaining deeper insights into procurement practices across this part of Europe join our event.

All supplying and buying companies can get an overview in advance, as they are all presented transparently on our BME Matchmaking Platform and can be selected there for B2B meetings. The supplier search is based on individual needs and requirements of the registered buyers. These company profiles will be sent to supplying companies from 18 countries in Central and Eastern Europe. In order to ensure better quality and efficiency of the event, we have adjusted the registration process. To take part in the individual supplier search, please register in “Shop” in your online account on the platform. In case you identify less than 4 suitable suppliers, no costs will be incurred.

After a qualified selection of different suppliers - from Estonia to the Czech Republic and the Western Balkans to Romania, buyers can hold up to 20 individual meetings in one day on-site. Buyers can select suppliers and either additionally book an individual table to meet them in pre-scheduled B2B meetings or reserve a Meet & Greet table, where meeting times are not scheduled in advance.  The aim is to provide tailored support to buyers with their procurement challenges as well as enable insight into purchasing companies’ sourcing strategies as well as needs, and then talk face-to-face with buyers during individual B2B meetings about potential cooperation.

Participation in the event, individual supplier list and Meet & Greet Table – all for the price of 995 euros (plus VAT) per company! B2B Table with pre-scheduled meetings costs additionally 250 euros. With the BME Sourcing Guarantee, participants take no risk - if not enough suitable suppliers are found, no costs will be incurred.
