THE MOST RENOWNED FOREIGN AND LOCAL ECONOMISTS AND CORPORATE LEADERS IN ONE PLACE!

The Budapest Economic Forum is a unique event that offers an exceptional opportunity to discuss the most exciting economic issues of Hungary, the central and eastern European region and the euro area. This year the event will take place on 17 October when - just like in the previous years - Portfolio.hu will welcome numerous decision makers, renowned economists and corporate executives.

Hungary and the euro area have progressed well into the lost decade. The debt crisis is not entirely over yet, while growth issues have already been uncovered. Do we need to accept that debt reduction comes at the price of recession or stagnation? This year’s BEF will provide an opportunity for the players of the business and economic life to discuss ways to kick-start growth and also to evaluate what occurred over the past year and what could be lying ahead of us.

The crisis has highlighted the importance of having sustainable economic policies and also an uninterrupted functioning of institutions that assist such policies. In order to solve the current problems, sustainable growth will be indispensible in the longer term. It is true for many countries that their present woes are the consequence of more than just an unfortunate coincidence of external conditions. The misguided economic policy decisions and the lack of the appropriate economic and political institutions are also to be blamed.

At the conference it will be discussed what manoeuvring room Hungary’s economy and economic policy have in the current global economic environment. Will the country be able to improve its potential growth? Can investment activity be kick-started? How could small and medium-sized enterprises be given access to funding? What role could innovation play in kick-starting Hungary’s economic growth?

Considering the human factors of innovation in Hungary the country does have the potential to enhance R&D&I, but the innovative power of SMEs have proved to be inferior. Research & Development spending of the business sector has increased substantially. Moreover, the rate of innovation-focused risk capital investments has increased more in Hungary than in any other EU member state. At the conference we will also be looking for answers to the current questions of companies involved in innovation. What funding opportunities are there for innovation in Hungary? How mobile is the highly-qualified R&D human resource? How could you establish an ecosystem that provides incentives and support for technology-intensive start-up businesses?
