I believe that each of us has the power to create change and make a positive impact on our surroundings.

I have been living in Volusia County since 2011, and in 2015 I founded my marketing agency, where I draw on more than 15 years of international marketing experience, working with clients from both Florida and Europe. Later, I established the HungarianHub nonprofit organization, which fosters networking among innovative business and community leaders between Hungary and the United States.

I represent the interests of local Hungarian communities, strengthen trade and economic relations between Hungary and the United States, and support cultural and scientific collaborations — including tourism, internship programs, and student exchanges.

In 2019, I was appointed as the Honorary Consul of Hungary in Daytona Beach, Central Florida.

Speedway Program GYIK

Mi az a Speedway program?

A Speedway egy hibrid képzési program, amely a magyar vállalkozások amerikai piacra lépését segíti elő. Hat hét alatt gyakorlati tudást ad üzleti adminisztráció és üzletfejlesztés területén, nemzetközi tapasztalattal rendelkező előadók vezetésével.

Ki jelentkezhet a programra?

A program elsősorban magyar kis- és középvállalkozások (KKV-k) számára készült, de fejlettebb startupok is jelentkezhetnek, amennyiben rendelkeznek validált termékkel vagy szolgáltatással, és tervezik az amerikai piacra lépést

Hogyan működik a képzés?

A program hat hétig tart, és hibrid formában zajlik:

Jelenléti alkalmak Budapesten hazai előadókkal.
Online előadások amerikai szakemberekkel.
A moduláris képzés keretében a résztvevők az amerikai üzleti kultúra, jogi követelmények, piackutatás és sok más kulcsfontosságú terület ismereteit sajátíthatják el.

Milyen témákat érint a képzés?

A program a következő területekre fókuszál:

Piackutatás, branding, és közösségi média stratégiák.
Értékesítési technikák és pénzügyi tervezés.
Export-import szabályozások és logisztikai folyamatok.
Üzleti angol és amerikai üzleti etikett.
Jogi és HR-kérdések.

Miért éri meg részt venni?

A program nem elméleti szakirodalomra épül, hanem gyakorlati tapasztalatokra és esettanulmányokra. A résztvevők a képzés végére képesek lesznek önállóan felépíteni és végrehajtani amerikai piacralépési stratégiájukat. Emellett a résztvevők lehetőséget kapnak csatlakozni a UCF Üzleti Inkubátor Program Soft Landing képzéséhez.

Hogyan lehet jelentkezni?

Jelentkezni a program hivatalos weboldalán található űrlap kitöltésével lehet. A jelentkezést követően egy ingyenes online konzultáció során minden további kérdésedre választ kaphatsz.

Van-e részvételi díj?

A részvételi díj jelenleg meghatározás alatt áll. Kérjük, kövesd a weboldal frissítéseit a pontos információkért!

Mi történik, ha nem tudok részt venni minden alkalmon?

Az online előadások anyagait rögzítjük, így azok bármikor visszanézhetők. A jelenléti alkalmakat azonban érdemes személyesen látogatni, hogy a lehető legtöbbet hozd ki a programból.
