This professional gathering focused on corporate innovation, circular economy, research and development opportunities, and practical packaging technology solutions.

The aim of the event was to showcase, through inspiring presentations and personal discussions, how innovative industrial approaches can contribute to strengthening business competitiveness. We were especially pleased to see how many valuable professional connections, conversations and potential collaborations were initiated during the InnoCafé networking session.

The programme was opened by Zsolt Keresztúri, Cluster Manager of the Innoskart Digital Innovation Cluster, who presented the results of the Plan-C project. The project supports the circular transformation of the plastics and machinery industries in the Danube Region and plays an important role in bringing sustainability considerations closer to everyday industrial practice.

The next presentation was delivered by Olivér Németh, Senior Manager at Deloitte Zrt., who spoke about the business relevance of corporate R&D activities. His presentation highlighted that research and development is not only a technological or professional matter, but can also serve as a strategic business tool for companies. Participants received useful insights into available tax incentives, funding opportunities, and ways to integrate an R&D mindset into corporate operations.

The third professional presentation was given by Alpár Bakó-Pallang, Sales Manager at Doroti Pack Kft., who provided a practical overview of the world of packaging technology. His presentation pointed out that suitable packaging solutions are important not only from a logistics and product protection perspective, but also in terms of more sustainable operations, resource efficiency and customer experience.

The presentations were followed by informal networking, once again demonstrating one of the key values of InnoCafé events: the opportunity for personal connection. Participants were able to exchange experiences, build new professional relationships, and start conversations that may form the basis of future joint projects or business collaborations.

We would like to thank our speakers once again for their well-prepared and valuable presentations, and our participants for their active presence and open, collaborative attitude.

Innoskart remains committed to providing a professional platform for its members and partners where innovation, sustainability and business cooperation can become tangible value.
