The Hungarian Business Leaders Forum is organizing its 26th edition of the country’s unique economic conference, the Financial Summit, titled “BACK IN THE FAST LANE — Hungary’s Geopolitical and Economic Outlook,” on September 18, 2026, at the Kempniski Hotel in Budapest. We cordially invite you to attend this conference.
The global economic and geopolitical balance of power is changing rapidly. In this new era, the positions of countries and economies are shifting, while innovation, technological progress, and economic policy decisions are increasingly shaping the future of Europe and Hungary.
The 26th HBLF Financial Summit will focus on how Hungary can find its rightful place in a changing Europe. What competitive advantages can we build on, what catalysts can accelerate our development, and what role can innovation, the startup ecosystem, and the banking sector play in this?
Since 2005, the Financial Summit has provided an exclusive forum for leading representatives from the government, business, finance, academia, and civil society to work together to find answers to the most important questions regarding Hungary’s economic future.
Our request has so far been accepted by two ministers and a number of highly respected economic experts:
