Impressions from the Annual EEN-2024 Conference in Budapest!

December 2024

These three days of the Conference passed incredibly quickly: 750 participants from 55 countries worldwide!

Over 150 speakers, numerous sessions, workshops, and discussions.

There were Slido polls, feedback from SMEs/startups, award ceremonies, and success stories from the Networkโ€™s clients.

The primary goal of the Conference was to create synergy through collaboration with various stakeholders at international, national, and regional levels to support SMEs and startups both within and beyond the EU.

Discussions also focused on how to benefit from synergy in a less complex way, address challenges currently faced by SMEs, such as climate change, supply chain disruptions, and how to meet market demands for SMEs to become more innovative, energy-efficient, and leverage digital tools to grow their businesses and make them more sustainable.

Some conference outcomes may contribute to shaping the policies and strategies of the new Commission, generating fresh ideas to tackle emerging challenges faced by SMEs. The Network remains a key player in implementing these solutions!

The EEN-Ukraine Consortium extends its gratitude to Enterprise Europe Network Hungary and HEPA, the Hungarian Export Promotion Agency, for the fantastic organization and the amazing hosting of the annual EEN Conference.

It was a remarkable Conference and networking opportunity, reconnecting with old friends and meeting new ones. For us, the Network is a family of friends and colleagues!

During the final session, the handover ceremony for the Annual Conference took place, passing the baton from Hungary to Denmark. This means the next Annual Conference will be held in Aalborg on November 26โ€“28, 2025!

So, letโ€™s make the most of the time for fruitful collaboration and see you at the next Annual Conference in Denmark!
