The Romanian Embassy in Hungary became, for one day, on October 15, 2025, a meeting point between diplomats, entrepreneurs and representatives of Banca Transilvania, at an event about business opportunities on the Hungarian market.
BT and the Romanian Embassy in Hungary organized this event dedicated to the business community in the two countries. It was a collaborative setting, a space for dialog about the potential of the Hungarian market, the challenges for entrepreneurs as they expand to other countries, the aspirations of business people, the diaspora, and how Banca Transilvania can support all these plans.
We were glad to have among our participants entrepreneurs running businesses in Romania and Hungary, but also people interested in expanding regionally, coming to Budapest from almost 10 counties of our country.
"Banca Transilvania is the partner for local and regional growth, to capitalize together on the advantage of proximity and turn opportunities and challenges into results " - was the central BT message at the event, delivered by Ömer Tetik, CEO of Banca Transilvania.
