The CCIU is again a key player in the InBuyers project, an initiative created by Promos Italia in collaboration with the chamber in Hungary, which supports SME Italian businesses in their internationalization process.

After collecting registrations for each event, the InBuyer Team will search the identified sector clusters for Hungarian operators interested in an introductory meeting. The service is provided through the B2B matching platform BMatch. After registering, companies can create an online showcase to present their company profiles and products. In case of mutual interest, companies will have the opportunity to test their interest in the products and propose meetings with potential counterparts.
