Registration

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.

      What Our Participants Say

      Professional recognition, community, experience – read what our participants said about us!

      "I have been a regular student and invited speaker at the Portfolio Private Health Conference for 5 years. It's a great experience to meet with a significant group of insurers, competitors and experts at the beginning of autumn, to exchange ideas, look back at the previous year's business and look ahead to what's to come. We can get first-hand information from the State Department of Health or Boston Consulting, who are shaping the state system. The Marriott's traditionally stunning location and excellent catering will make this a day of celebration. I would never miss it."

      dr. Kirschner András
      founder-owner, Swiss Clinic

      "I like the Energy Investment Forum conference because everyone from the sector is here, you can meet a lot of colleagues and friends, have a chat about business, family, friends, the future, and there are also very meaningful professional programmes."

      Mátrai Károly
      CEO, MVM

      "The Sustainable World conference is an important meeting point for all those working to build a sustainable future. I find the professional dialogue here particularly valuable because it gives us the opportunity to think together about the challenges of creating a more sustainable world and to inspire each other to find the best, innovative solutions to achieve this."

      Ifj. Chikán Attila
      CEO, Alteo, President, BCSDH
