1. Start by creating your profile on Nir-vana.

Creating a profile in Nir-vana is quite easy! The most important thing is that you describe yourself as you are, that you describe well what you are looking for or what your areas of interest are. For this, you have a section where you can tell the network everything you want about yourself, as well as select the selection of keywords that define you or that are of interest to you. If you wish, you can also register a company or associate with one that has already been created. You will be able to create opportunities in your name or in the name of the company with which you are affiliated.

2. Upload an opportunity in Nir-vana.

There are multiple ways to establish collaborations. As you know that this is one of the points that innovators surely have clearer, the first thing you should think about is whether your proposal is:

• Tech collaboration

• Joint Venture

• Licensing

• Subcontracting

• Investment

• Search a project partner

From here, you will have to fill in the usual fields such as title, a short summary and later a more complete description of the opportunity. You must also add the keywords that most represent your proposal and set the deadline for it. Take your time to prepare content adjusted to your needs and that allows the rest of the innovators to know the key points of your proposal.

3. Look for an opportunity in Nir-vana

To make the search for opportunities simple, you can use filters and sorting systems both on the home page and in the opportunities section.

You can sort according to your preferences (which you have previously established with the KW in your profile), by most recent or popular. You can also add a filter to be able to select all the proposals or only those that are active.

4. Creation and participation in a space

If what you want is to exchange about a project or aspect related to innovation without the need for a complete proposal, you can create a space where you can exchange with the rest of the Nir-vana professionals. This room can be public or private, you can use it the way you want and with whoever you want.
