Case Study: EUvsVirus achieves a flawless large-scale Matchathon and 500+ partnerships with Digital Samba's Samba Live

How EUvsVirus initiative used Samba Live for their online event

EUvsVirus, a European Commission initiative, moved its Matchathon online to connect winning teams with investors, corporates and universities. The challenge was to run high‑attendance remote pitches and meetings that required stable HD video, screen sharing, live streaming and Q&A support, so organizers chose Digital Samba’s Samba Live platform to deliver the event.

Digital Samba implemented Samba Live to host coordination calls and a large two‑hour webinar with nearly 400 participants (live‑streamed to Facebook) without major technical issues. The platform supported substantial outcomes—500 new partnerships, 700+ curated meetings, 400+ partners, 120 projects across 40 countries—demonstrating Digital Samba’s ability to power reliable, large‑scale virtual events.
