Hungarian Investment Guide by the Swedish Embassy

Niclas Trouvé, Ambassador of Sweden to Hungary, Levente Magyar, Minister of State for Economic Diplomacy, and Róbert Ésik, President of the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA), presented a publication entitled ‘Sweden Hungary Business Guide’ promoting the Hungarian investment environment. The event was organized on December 13, Lucia’s Day, which is considered the brightest Swedish holiday.

It was the first time that
the Swedish Embassy in Hungary, the Swedish Chamber of Commerce in Hungary,
Business Sweden and HIPA mapped and evaluated the presence of Swedish companies
in Hungary. The Sweden Hungary Business Guide, created as a result of joint
efforts, is aimed at encouraging business relations and, within those,
primarily the investments of Swedish companies to Hungary, and facilitating
their activities.

“Made by Sweden – in
Hungary,” Ambassador Trouvé stressed, linking that not only Sweden could be
proud with this success, it has been achieved together with Hungarian
employees.

At present, about 180
Swedish companies in total are present in Hungary, which together employ nearly
17,000 people. 82 companies introduce themselves in the publication; in terms
of the number of employees, they represent 95% of Swedish companies present in
Hungary.
