The Embassy of Romania in Hungary became, for a day, on October 15, 2025, a meeting place for diplomats, entrepreneurs and Banca Transilvania representatives, at an event focused on business opportunities in the Hungarian market.

BT and the Embassy of Romania in Hungary hosted this event for the business community in both countries. It provided a collaborative setting — a forum for dialogue about the potential of the Hungarian market, the challenges entrepreneurs face when expanding to other countries, the aspirations of businesspeople, the diaspora, and how Banca Transilvania can support all these plans.

We were pleased to have among the participants entrepreneurs running businesses in Romania and Hungary, as well as people looking to expand regionally, who came to Budapest from nearly 10 counties across Romania.

“Banca Transilvania is the partner for local and regional growth, to leverage the advantage of proximity together and turn opportunities and challenges into results” – this was BT’s key message at the event, delivered by Ömer Tetik, CEO, Banca Transilvania.
