Corporate Energy Management 2026

6th May 2026 Hotel InterContinental Budapest
Conscious energy management is no longer just an option, but an obligation. Whether a company is small, medium or large, its electricity and gas procurement remains a cornerstone of its competitiveness - but it is far from the only one. Those who do not develop a well thought-out energy strategy will inevitably be at a disadvantage. But the how is more complex than ever: energy is one of the fastest-changing areas, where business practices have to be rethought almost year on year. Corporate energy management has become a strategic issue. It is not just about how to reduce costs, but also about how to build a more sustainable, resilient and commercially successful company. It will determine who gets ahead - and who gets left behind - in the years ahead. That's why our conference will address these issues in a comprehensive way: building on past successes, but also responding to new challenges and needs.

Automotive industry 2026

26th–27th March 2026 Kölcsey Központ
The automotive industry accounts for a significant share of Hungary's GDP and has long played a key role in the Hungarian economy. However, in recent years, not only has the number of automotive manufacturing companies entering the sector increased, but so have the challenges associated with the industry. The need for a green transition can no longer be ignored, and the global crises of recent years — including the vulnerability of supply chains, geopolitical tensions, the energy crisis, and the increased role of Chinese manufacturers in Hungary — continue to have a significant impact. The industry is currently undergoing major transformation, accompanied by considerable uncertainty: which powertrain technology will prevail in the future, how major markets will respond to trade and customs regulations, what innovations can be expected, and, ultimately, how European automotive companies can remain competitive in an increasingly turbulent industry environment? This year, the most important domestic OEMs, buyers, and suppliers will meet in Debrecen — let us learn from them, and from each other, by sharing best practices, followed by a dinner, evening programme, networking, and accommodation after the professional sessions. On the second day of the conference, factory visits to several nearby locations will be organised by shuttle bus. The optional factory visit is included in the registration fee. Departure times are 9:00 and 11:00, so two locations may be chosen during online registration.
