What is HEPA?

According to their website, Hepa “considers it its mission to provide customized, cost-free services to Hungarian businesses based on their level of export readiness. That’s why, as the initial steps of our collaboration with all new partners who approach us, we conduct a comprehensive export readiness assessment.” Based on this assessment, they make recommendations for designing a service package that aligns with the business’s goals, suits the specific industry, and can be dynamically adjusted.

HEPA’s Goals

HEPA’s aim is to be a reliable and active partner for Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises in the field of export development, contributing to the success of domestic exports.

The HEPA Hungarian National Trading House Nonprofit Ltd. (HEPA) is dedicated to assisting Hungarian businesses in entering foreign markets with professional services and incentive tools. In line with the goals set in the National Export Strategy, we offer a wide range of services to support Hungarian businesses’ export activities. We facilitate the establishment of international trade relationships through market research, business advisory services, and export-focused training. In addition to market-specific information, we provide our clients with intercultural knowledge necessary for successful business negotiations. We also help in exploring foreign market opportunities and in identifying, developing, and supporting Hungarian companies, products, and services that are internationally competitive.
