Defense Industry Exhibitions

SUPPORT FOR PARTICIPATION IN DEFENCE INDUSTRY EXHIBITIONS, EVENTS


The Agency is a business association aiming at promoting the international market access of Hungarian defence industrial products and services and contributing to the development of the defence industry.
 
In line with the Hungarian Defence Industrial Start Strategy, our aim is to support the promotion of competitive domestic products and services on foreign markets at international defence industrial exhibitions.
 
We consider it important to showcase our traditions and the competitive products and services of the reborn Hungarian defence industry on national stands with a unified image, along the lines of Hungarian symbols and emblems.
 
Our partners will have the opportunity to meet with foreign business partners at these national stands and we will provide on-site support for exhibiting companies.

SUPPORT FOR THE TESTING AND DEMONSTRATION OF DEFENCE INDUSTRY PRODUCTS


Testing and trialing defence industry products is often a major challenge for both sellers and buyers. Site security, licensing for the export and import of military equipment and many other rules makes it difficulties. The Agency intends to support this process through diplomatic contacts, by speeding up national and foreign government licensing processes and other assistance.
 

Export support activity

EXPORT SUPPORT ACTIVITY


The Hungarian Defence Export Agency Ltd. supports the foreign market expansion of its export-ready contract partner companies through the Agency’s own formal network, and by relying on its close professional relationship to the defence and foreign trade attachés in service worldwide.

Our business development specialists and the staff of experts in our Berlin-based branch office identify the best potential customers for the goods and services of our Hungarian partners, and promote the exportable products and services of the contracted companies.

Along the demand from abroad, we promote domestic manufacturers and create business opportunities.

To do this, we maintain an up-to-date database of domestic exporting companies and aim to work as closely as possible with our Hungarian partners and identify the best suited opportunities for them.
