AmCham Hungary and the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) organize the Business Meets Government Summit, the flagship event of our organizations, for the ninth consecutive year. The Business Meets Government Summit has become a key platform for connecting investors with policy-makers and is a leading advocacy forum in Hungary. It aggregates the expertise of 150+ leaders from top investors, government leaders, think-tanks and academia. We come together annually in the Fall since 2015 with the agenda to make Hungary more sustainable and competitive.
In 2023, we will focus on how business leaders adapt to economic and geopolitical challenges, how they can deliver constantly increasing business targets while facing recession, issues on the labor market and uncertainty.
