Why you should come?

Hungarian cohesion funds from the European Union are released after a year and a half, which in itself does not mean that competition for funding can start immediately. Companies must watch out for many pitfalls when starting out in public procurement and applying for development funds. Priorities have changed and rules have been radically rewritten in many areas. In addition, the Russo-Ukrainian war, the coronavirus pandemic, and the deglobalisation process are also setting Hungarian businesses on a new course.

Companies now have to think not only about their plans, but also about the changing world around them: not only do they have to consider their development plans, but also raising funds outside the EU subsidies, while borrowing is much more expensive than in the previous budget cycle.

We help you to understand what kind of future the European Union envisages and how the government can help Hungarian businesses. We will also look for answers on who should apply and how, and what role a professional application writer or consultant can play in successful developments. We will also present how banks can be entrepreneurs’ partners beyond financing.
