AN INITIATIVE OF THE HUNGARIAN ECONOMIC GATEWAY
Hungarian heritage. International connections.
Those who left Hungary in 1956 carried the spirit of freedom into the world; today, this legacy can form a bridge between Hungarian businesses, researchers and young people and their international partners.
I would like to join the initiativeThe Hungarian Economic Gateway honours the legacy of the Hungarian diaspora of 1956. ’56 Bridge aims to help the knowledge, experience and networks of those who emigrated and the generations that followed find new paths to Hungary through cooperation.
What began as a loss in 1956 can become a shared asset today: professional connections, knowledge-sharing and international opportunities.
Over seven decades, the Hungarian diaspora of 1956 has built new homes, communities and professional connections in many countries. This legacy is now carried forward by the second and third generations, from North America to Australia. ’56 Bridge seeks to connect with these communities and professionals.
Those who left Hungary in 1956 built new lives, while many maintained their ties to Hungary. Freedom meant both opportunity and responsibility. The initiative carries this outlook forward through professional cooperation today.
Self-organisation played a defining role in the communities of the revolution and the diaspora. ’56 Bridge aims to connect people who can achieve more together by sharing their knowledge and connections.
The legacy of 1956 is a shared starting point, not a political dividing line. With respect for the past, the initiative seeks to foster cooperation today and opportunities for the future.
Professional introductions, exchange of business experience and preparation for potential cooperation.
