The founding members elected Marianna Ritter, CEO of iLex Systems Zrt., as the head of the new section, and Vikt\u00f3ria Grim, Partner Director of the iLex Innovation Marketplace and Vice President of the Innovation and R&D College of BKIK, as its secretary. The establishment of the section was approved by the HEA Board at its meeting on April 20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The primary goal of the HEA Business Development Section is to present the opportunities available in the field of business development for Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and to create a shared professional forum for business development experts and the company leaders concerned. In this context, the section considers it its mission to showcase as broadly as possible the service portfolio of the domestic business development landscape\u2014from current grant and capital funding opportunities to various mentoring, coaching, and consulting programs available to SMEs, as well as related up-to-date scientific publications. All of this will be implemented primarily through the organization of professional lectures, conferences, and workshops, with the active participation of experts from higher education, institutions, and the business sector, as well as interested company leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The section warmly welcomes as members Hungarian SME executives, heads of supplier and partner management departments at large corporations, domestic mentors, coaches and consultants, leaders of organizations providing their training, as well as representatives of all organizations and institutions offering business development services to Hungarian enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
