Our slogan
“Growing Stronger and Smarter Together”
reflects our belief in the power of sharing information and in building business relations and cooperation through personal contacts.
Our community is our main value. At our professional networking events – networking drinks and conferences – you can connect with like-minded professionals to share ideas and meet the invited experts of market-leading companies and governmental corps to gain valuable insider insights – in a cozy, cool, yet stylish atmosphere, enjoying the friendly company around delicious food and drinks.
Our members are coming from various business backgrounds: Belgian entrepreneurs running their business in Hungary, Belgian companies’ local representants, Hungarian businesspersons related to Belgium in various ways, diplomats, or simply friends of Belgium.
Membership
