BUILDING CONNECTIONS: The Central and Eastern Europe press alliance

During the last weekend took place at Kecskemét, near Budapest - Hungary, the first reunion of construction journalists in the Central and Eastern Europe, in a new partnership formula called Building Connections. At the initiative of editorial team of Magyar Építők, a group of specialized publications in the above-mentioned region decided to start a professional cooperation consisting - in the first stage - in sharing the general interest stories/features in every country on the common website. The reunion took place at Four Points by Sheraton Hotel. In the opening, the state secretary László Mosóczi who represented Hungarian Minister for Information and Technology László Palkovics addressed a message to the guests. The Hungarian official emphasized that “the national construction sector grew by 85% percent between 2016 and 2018 and its ratio in the GDP is on the rise as well. This momentum can be depended on to continue in the next years, since the sector can count on 25 thousand billion forints (EUR 77 billion) in purchase orders from all sources combined”. Also, he mentioned that „it is of great importance to share information, for everyone interested to know about the developments in the construction sectors of countries close to their borders – as well as ones farther away. The dynamic growth the sector is undergoing right now makes technological innovation necessary, which can be favored by cooperation from media outlets from separate countries”.
