During the four days of the Ipar Napjai/Mach-Tech/Automotive Hungary fair, our colleagues held more than 90 consultations with company representatives on various topics. Once again, the most frequently requested consulting topic this year was establishing new business relationships between buyers and suppliers. However, a considerable number of parties were also interested in legal issues and training and further education programs. Many also took part in the chamber’s trade fair consultation day. With almost 50 companies in attendance, the DUIHK stand once again provided an informal atmosphere for networking. The chamber will attend the trade fair again next year, as it offers a unique opportunity to build business relationships, something neither the chamber nor its members should miss in 2025. • Save the Date: May 13-16, 2025.
