In order to facilitate the exchange of technology and the expansion of the market for technological products among member countries, the D-8 TTEN Secretariat proposed the idea of arranging targeted gatherings between nations, focusing on specific areas of demand. Subsequently, the Secretariat formulated a plan to implement these meetings, encompassing their content and operational framework. The meetings are organized based on the identification of the desired domain by the host country and the representative or designated agent of the network in that country. Once the subject matter has been confirmed, companies and advocates in the designated field are invited to participate in the network's business gathering, where they can engage in negotiations with their counterparts from other member countries to establish collaborative partnerships.

The 1^st BTM was hosted by The Scientific and Industrial Research Council of Bangladesh, as the national coordination organization of the network. The meeting was held in Dhaka, and the field of biotechnology, specifically biopharmaceutical and biosimilar technologies and products, was selected after careful investigation. The main focus of the meeting was to introduce technologies and companies, which led to agreements and cooperation between companies in various fields.

The 2^nd BTM was hosted by Iran's International Innovation and Technology Exhibition (INOTEX2018), in July 2018, Tehran, Iran, in the renewable energy sector. Representatives from Iran, Nigeria, and Malaysia attended this gathering. A keynote speech and a panel discussion were held in addition to the business presentations in order to increase the Meeting's appeal to the Member States. The panelists discussed the importance of startups and SMEs in boosting the technology transfer of renewable energy while introducing the initiatives undertaken by associated entities to develop startups and SMEs in the field of renewable energy. Following the meeting's speakers' part, businesses from Iran and Nigeria showcased their current projects and products to the attendees.

The 3^rd BTM was held by The Presidential Innovation and Prosperity Fund in Tehran, Iran, in the fields of mining and metal industries in December 2021, both in person and online. Eight foreign companies from the D-8 group's member nations—Iran, Turkey, Malaysia, Pakistan—as well as guests from other nations—Iraq and Kyrgyzstan—presented their investment interests and technological requirements at this event. The other section of this event featured 12 top startups from the D-8 group member countries showcasing their skills. As planned, negotiations and B2B sessions between the suppliers and customers of technology were held alongside this event.
