Subject: Invitation - Changes and Challenges: Innovation in Europe and Hungary | June 24

 

 

Please join a discussion on Changes and Challenges: Innovation in Europe and Hungary The economic crises in Europe and the Eurozone have been deeper and longer than either politicians or economists anticipated. While austerity measures and structural reforms have dominated policy making recently, there needs to be far greater emphasis on policies which promote innovation, development and growth, both nationally and within the EU. The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), an affiliate of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is pleased to host an open discussion on these policies with Zoltán Cséfalvay, Hungarian Minister of State for Economic Strategy Monday, June 24, 2013 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), 1155 15th Street, NW, 7th Floor

 

A member of the European Union but not part of the Eurozone, Hungary has a small open economy and is a net exporter of goods and services. With a strong tradition in science and technology, a highly educated and skilled workforce, and an emphasis on vibrant SMEs, Hungary has a growing start-up scene for high-tech companies. The European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT) is based in Budapest, providing support for innovation and entrepreneurship in communications technology and energy. Zoltán Cséfalvay, Hungarian Minister of State for Economic Strategy, is currently leading a delegation of such companies to the United States. Earlier in his career, Mr. Cséfalvay was a research fellow at the Institute for Geography of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He became Head of the Cabinet of the Ministry for Industry in 1990 and in 1992 became advisor to the President of the Hungarian National Bank. He received a Humboldt Fellowship at the University of Heidelberg between 1995 and 1997. He was a research project leader at Institute for Urban and Regional Research of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and was Acting Director of the Hungarian Trend Research Institute between 1995 and 1998. Before that, he was a professor for eight years at the Andrássy Gyula University of Budapest. He held a Marie Curie research fellowship at Cardiff University from 2008 until 2010 and became an honorary lecturer there. He graduated as a history and geography teacher, receiving his PhD and CSc degrees. RSVP by June 21, 2013
