For one week, Hungary will be the focus of attention for those interested in innovation: the National Innovation Agency (NIA) will organise the first traditional Hungary Innovation Week (HIW) at the end of September, which will feature a series of events with key players from the domestic and international innovation ecosystems, discussing current trends, issues, good practices and how to increase innovation performance in Hungary and Europe, which is key to economic competitiveness.

The development of the Hungarian innovation ecosystem is driven primarily by strengthening partnerships between research institutions, universities and the industrial research network. State actors should actively participate in this by supporting market participants and activating direct subsidies, said László Bódis, CEO of the National Innovation Agency (NIA), at the launch event of the organisation on 25 April 2024, at Create26.

VivaTechnology in Paris is an international meeting place for large companies and investors looking for new technological solutions, an excellent opportunity for Hungarian startups, scaleups and innovative SMEs to present themselves and build international business relationships.

The majority of innovative Hungarian businesses have limited knowledge of how they can become truly successful on an international level – the Hungarian Innovation Agency's XPAND Program tries to overcome this challenge.
