Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Hajdú-Bihar County (HBKIK)

HBKIK is a public body established by law, a voluntary economic governance body, and the representative of the County’s business community. Since its inception in 1850, the Debrecen Chamber of Commerce and Industry has served entrepreneurs in the region as a compass for the economy. In addition to its responsibilities under Act CXXI of 1999 on economic chambers, the HBKIK provides a wide range of economic expert services, partly for free and partly for a fee, to its voluntary members and registered enterprises. The Chamber now also has a German Information Point, which, as a result of close cooperation between the HBKIK and the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce, provides useful information on accessing foreign markets, participating in trade fairs, and finding a business partner in Germany. More information on the information point is available here.

Co-working offices

Co-working is an innovative arrangement at work that allows for independent workers to work in a common space, in this way motivating each other and exchanging experiences. In the office, services can be used on an occasional or rental basis, which may vary depending on demand. The basic equipment of the co-working space usually includes a free desk to work, internet access, printing facility, projector rental, a meeting room, and a locker. Co-working spaces can be seen as the base of a start-up ecosystem, as those who want to do business can operate and do their job in a youthful and vibrant environment, even working remotely, in this way creating a transition between a rented office space and a club or café. Moreover, using a co-working office space is a good option for start-ups, as they do not need to rent an office for an extended period.
