Speaking at the event, mayor of Debrecen Làszló Papp said “Our establishment strategy far beyond our borders makes a decisive contribution to the development of electromobility, the maintenance of a livable environment and climate neutrality,” he added that modernity is combined with tradition in Debrecen. 

Many German companies are already represented in the city and in the region, and thanks to the demand, a German school was even established last year, the mayor pointed out. 

Volkmar Klein emphasised the friendly relations between Germany and Hungary and thanked the Hungarians for their tireless hospitality. 

“A city can only succeed in attracting more and more new German and international companies in global competition if the location is attractive to companies and workers,” Volkmar Klein stated.
