Make Connections?

Yes, it could mean either or both. It would just refer to anyone he might meet with whom he might do any kind of business later.

-S

So, it's ambiguous?

Hi,

A business connection - is pretty much self-explanatory. The purpose is to explore and develop leads for possible future source of business. So going to a function or party, meeting people and shaking hands with the influential ones is in a nutshell "making business connection."

Two senses of "connection" are "(business) relationship" and "(business) people that could help you later on". I just want to know which sense of "connection" in the example would be seen by most readers.

Personally, my take of this phrase is, we have to develop "good relationship" with people before they notice and consider you as a business partner, among other critera. That's why I said "in a nutshell..."

I don't see the ambiguity.

Nobody seems to know what "connection" means.
