The 3rd Hungary–Africa Week Economic Day is a unique networking event that builds bridges not only between Africa and Hungary, but also across business, health, knowledge sharing, and social development.
The event aims to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of the links between health and economic growth, as well as the role of related sectors—healthcare, diplomacy, culture, development, and humanitarian work—in sustainable development.
It contributes to the creation of longterm, fruitful business relationships and fosters collaborative efforts between Hungarian and African partners to build healthy, competitive, and innovative economic partnerships.

What makes the Economic Day unique?
The Economic Day is organized using a practical, experience-driven approach, combining the efficiency of Hungarian business culture with the flexibility of African business traditions.
Our aim is to ensure that supply and demand truly meet – organizers conduct a preliminary African roadshow to personally identify potential partners and invite them to the event in Hungary and to the VIP supporter programs.
The Economic Day supports the development of business, diplomatic, and healthcare relationships, while fostering participants’ understanding across different business cultures and promoting collaborative thinking that advances sustainable development.
Health and Economic Development – Health as a New Dimension of Business Success
Health is not only an individual and societal value but also a cornerstone of economic performance.
The Economic Day programs will highlight how employee well-being, mental and physical health, and a sustainable workplace environment directly influence a company’s competitiveness and capacity for innovation.
Through Hungarian and African examples, we will demonstrate how to create synergy between health and the economy, and how sectors such as healthcare, agri-food, water management, and digitalization can become drivers of sustainable economic growth.
