Gellért Jászai, Chairman and CEO of 4iG Group and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary for the Development of International Business Relations in Hungary, participated in a number of high-level consultations at the World Economic Forum's 2026 annual meeting. According to his LinkedIn post, the talks focused on the future of digital infrastructure and connectivity, the strategic role of defence technologies, and opportunities for further strengthening international cooperation.

Jászai said he met with Sebastian Kurz, former Federal Chancellor of Austria and Co-founder of Dream, to review the potential collaboration already initiated between their organisations. Dream is a technology company specialising in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, developing solutions to protect government and critical infrastructure. "The partnership is progressing steadily, with 4iG Space and Defence Technologies Plc. actively evaluating and integrating Dream’s capabilities in support of our broader defence digitalization ambitions," Jászai wrote.

At a meeting with Arda Ermut, CEO and Board Member of Türkiye Wealth Fund, they explored strategic cooperation opportunities, including potential joint digital infrastructure investment structures and international growth initiatives aligned with their long-term regional and global ambitions.

Jászai also had the opportunity to meet with Aleksandar Vučić, President of Serbia, to discuss Hungarian–Serbian cooperation opportunities in telecommunications and digital infrastructure, an area of growing strategic importance for the region.

He also met with Hatem Dowidar, Group CEO of e&, to review the execution of the Memorandum of Understanding signed last summer, with particular emphasis on international digital infrastructure and data centre investments.

In addition, Jászai also met with Milojko Spajić, Prime Minister of Montenegro, together with Meera Al Suwaidi, Head of Sovereign Partnerships at Mubadala Investment Company. They explored opportunities to strengthen regional and cross-border cooperation, leveraging strategic investment to support long-term digital growth and resilience.

"Davos continues to provide an exceptional environment for advancing strategic dialogue and building partnerships that will shape the next phase of growth," Jászai wrote. In the coming days, he will also be engaging in further high-level meetings in a bid to explore new opportunities for cooperation and long-term value creation.
