Cities are facing #global #challenges, and #Budapest is no exception. Identifying successful answers and solutions to challenges is of paramount importance that relevant city actors cooperate and act together in that regard. This realization brought together actors and launched the Budapest Global initiative.   The #BudapestGlobalAssociation is an independent #platform that brings together the aspirations, expertise, and resources of the #public and #private sector, #business life, enterprises, #knowledge institutions, #cultural #institutions, #civil actors, and the Metropolitan Municipality, to make Budapest a #global, #sustainable, #green, #connected, #competitive and #liveable city, where the #wellbeing of its #citizens is on the top of the priorities.   From September, the Budapest Global Association will begin its operation along new dimensions. We welcome Marta Nagy onboard, the first appointed #director of #BudapestGlobal. The President of the Association, Gergely #Karácsony, #MayorofBudapest, signed the commission contract with the new director of the Association. Márta Nagy is a proud #Budapester. With her 20 years of experience in business management, finance, and strategy formation, acquired in a multinational corporate environment, she will manage, support, and promote the visions and facilitate achieving the goals set by Budapest Global. I extend my #bestwishes for continued #succes to Marta. #citydiplomacy #Budapest #Budapest150

𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 - 𝐇𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐊𝐨𝐧𝐠'𝐬 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 Hong Kong's economy faced significant challenges over the past few years. But don't be mistaken, business is returning and we will be ready. We are expanding our facility to ensure Hong Kong's position as Asia's World City. Hong Kong is a place where people and businesses from around the world can connect with opportunities throughout the region. Our expanding FBO (Fixed-base Operator) terminal offers several benefits: 1. Increased Capacity: Expanding the terminal allows for more passengers and crew to be accommodated simultaneously. 2. Enhanced Services: With more space, we can elevate the level of services we offer, such as additional VIP Rooms designed to offer utmost privacy, comfort and personalized services. The enhancement of passenger and crew lounges ensure a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for all. The improved conference facilities will enable our clients to host business meetings and conferences. The Terminal Redevelopment Project also addresses the need for increased storage spaces to manage and store essential supplies and resources. The expanded area will accommodate upgraded amenities that will elevate the overall experience of our valuable clients. 3. Improved Efficiency: A larger terminal will lead to smoother operations and improved efficiency in handling aircraft and passengers. This will result in quicker turnarounds for aircraft, reducing downtime and increasing revenue for business aviation users and Hong Kong's overall economy. 4. Attraction of More Traffic: A well-equipped and spacious FBO terminal will attract more business from both private and commercial aviation customers. In turn, this enables us to create stability and security for our growing team and the businesses we serve. 5. Competitive Advantage: Our expansion will help Hong Kong to remain competitive by offering superior facilities and services. This can be particularly important in attracting high-value customers and repeat business into our city.

One of the few rankings on international business and foreign direct investment we can take seriously. Amsterdam as #2 after London (so #1 of all EU cities!) is a great achievement because it shows that our investment climate still works very well when compared to other European cities and regions. Obviously there are many issues in the investment climate of The Netherlands, but this ranking does show that Amsterdam is part of the Netherlands, but also in a league of its own.
