Hungarian IT Day
New York – The Consulate General
of the Republic of Hungary and the Hungarian
Technology Center (HTEC) hosted a
Hungarian IT Day at the Consulate on January 19th, 2006.
HTEC,
founded by the Hungarian Ministry of Informatics and
Telecommunications, introduced two companies - noted among the
most successful in Hungary - to the circle of New York IT
professionals, venture capitalists and journalists as well as
the world renowned expert on the field of Artificial
Intelligence, Rutgers University Professor Miklos Vasarhelyi.
To mark this very special occasion the
participants were joined by Gabor Tatai, President of AITIA
International and Vilmos Vaspal, President of Freesoft
International, the first Hungarian IT companies established
with the help of HTEC
in the USA.
Both companies can report noticable
international success. In its first year U.S. market presence,
FreeSoft International closed some very impressive deals, AITIA
International has won a large number of European IT prizes.
As Consul General Mr. Gabor Horvath
noted, the growing interest in the Hungarian companies with
already established U.S.-presence is a good indicator of the
worldwide competitive power of the Hungarian IT sector.
Managing director of HTEC, Mr. Istvan Foldesi,
talked about the event as an initiative to create traditions,
and will in the future also include events in various US cities
that are key players in the IT sector.
According to Foldesi, the main objective of the
event is the introduction and reinforcement of Hungary’s
position in the IT Industry, more specifically the creation
of market opportunities for the previously introduced companies.
