Hungary is "back on the European map" after the April parliamentary elections, with the new government promising a more market-friendly economic policy and a more pro-EU foreign policy. This has also been reflected in the strength of the forint and Hungarian government bonds in the markets. The next few years could be a time of rapprochement with Europe and the possible introduction of the euro, which will affect the lives of all economic players. How can companies prepare for the introduction of the euro? What are the challenges for economic policy? How different the economic environment might be if we really do pay in euros - we are looking for answers to all these questions. We look at other countries' experiences of adopting the euro and the lessons and pitfalls that can be learned.

On the surface, everything is unchanged in Hungarian private healthcare, as if the status quo has been established: demand for private services is steady, labour shortages remain a problem and so is wage pressure, patients are coming with expectations and are increasingly informed, large providers are competing fiercely for patients and skilled labour, and external investors are still absent. But beneath the surface, the sector is boiling and the field of the big players is beginning to split: those building organically are steadily growing and developing, those scaling up are scaling down, funding is often not easy, there is a fierce battle for physician teams, new collaborations are being formed within and across the sector. It is in this context that we are organising the Private Health Forum 2026 conference, now in its 10th year as a meeting point for the private healthcare sector, where we will focus on the current situation assessment and how the Hungarian healthcare sector, including private healthcare, is currently operating. We will give space on stage to the professionals who actually run the private health sector 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, we are also focusing on the future to mark the anniversary. What will the healthcare of the future look like, what will the patient and doctor of the future be like? What will the hospital of the future look like? How will healing and treatment take place in the future? What will make Hungarians ill in the future? How can we better prevent this? Is the solution already in our pocket? What role will artificial intelligence play in this? Short and longer term perspectives. 10 years behind us, we look ahead at least 10 years. Hungarian healthcare 2036.

With unbroken momentum and a growing interest and attendance, we are making Sustainable World 2026 - The conference for the companies of the future a tradition. The event is now also an industry gathering, bringing together representatives from different sectors to discuss ways to achieve sustainability goals and tangible results. The unquestionable importance of sustainability efforts and solutions, and their critical role in the economy, was the subject of curious looks at the first Sustainable World conference 7 years ago, but now it is undoubtedly an integral part of business life and corporate strategies. The business world is being forced to constantly adapt and innovate by challenges such as changes in the regulatory environment, geopolitical tensions, transition and physical climate risks, and changing consumer and investor demands. Rapid reaction, adaptation and flexibility are key words that companies have had to experience from several angles. The maturity of the domestic market is demonstrated by the growing number of players who are already seeing the benefits of being at the forefront of sustainability and looking to the future with a solid foundation. The event has become a primary forum and meeting place for green industry players, those who are shaping the green economy with a strategic vision and commitment. The Sustainable World conference will address the most topical issues by industry, the issues that are currently driving the economic players in ESG, green finance and sustainability.  Unmissable topics at the conference include the green economy, ESG - both regulatory, reporting and strategic, green finance, financial sector expectations, forward-looking investment decisions, the latest developments in the green energy market, energy efficiency and sustainable business practices.  This was our Sustainable World 2025 conference:
