The Hungarian British Business Alliance (HBBA) is pleased to invite you to the Budapest Business Trip 2024 (BBT) organized in collaboration with the Hungarian Embassy of the United Kingdom, the Hungarian Export Promotion Agency (HEPA) with the support of Enterprise Europe Network to aid business partners in making connections and establishing new opportunities for the growth of their businesses.

This exclusive trip will take place in the cultural highlights of Budapest whilst creating an environment where delegates can learn about conducting business in Hungary. With direct access to ministerial officials, the itinerary will include a series of in-depth business seminars, including subject matter keynote speakers about developing important business links between the UK and Hungary. In addition, HBBA also provides fun and entertaining programs during downtime, helping you get as many great impressions as possible about Hungarian culture, cuisine, wines, architecture, history and more.

The BBT will include meetings with senior British and Hungarian business stakeholders, B2B networking with about 120+ Hungarian companies and a series of in-depth business seminars, including subject matter keynote speakers sharing facts and information and developing important business links between the UK and Hungary.

The event should be of specific interest to business leaders in technology, innovation, startups, business services, and private equity.
