The Infotér Conference is Hungary’s leading event for digital policy discussions, attracting over 2,000 professionals each year. Since 2010, it has brought together policymakers, industry leaders, academics, and NGOs to address the future of digital transformation. Traditionally held in Balatonfüred, the conference has expanded its scope to reflect pressing global challenges.
A key highlight is the Space & Defense Day, which was introduced in 2022 in response to Hungary’s growing role in these sectors. The event immediately gained traction, attracting hundreds of participants, including the Minister of Defense. By 2024, the number of participants had grown to 800, reinforcing its importance as a regional platform for discussions on space exploration, security, and technological innovation.
This year’s Space & Defense Day will focus on the transformative impact of the space economy and AI on defense. With a strong focus on higher education, research, innovation, and venture capital, discussions will explore the role of space sustainability and regional cooperation in shaping the future of the sector.
As one of the most anticipated gatherings in the region, the Space & Defense Day at Infotér Conference offers a unique opportunity to connect with the key players driving technological advancements in these critical fields.
We look forward to welcoming you.
