The Hungarian Fashion & Design Agency is launching a mentoring programme for domestic creative industry manufacturers for the fifth time. Until now, the programme has specifically supported the development of fashion and design industry businesses, but this time applications are also open to participants from the beauty, toy, and gaming industries. The programme aims to provide participants with up-to-date knowledge of international trends in manufacturing development, communication, and sales, thereby enhancing their opportunities for market entry and business growth abroad.
The three-month-long programme offers professional support through online and offline workshops and one-to-one mentoring sessions. Participants can develop their production processes under the guidance of domestic experts with practical experience and receive assistance to strengthen their international presence.
The mentoring programme offers a comprehensive approach: among other things, manufacturers can gain insight into the practical applications of artificial intelligence, deepen their knowledge of intellectual property as well as technological and sustainability innovations, and explore the latest trends in brand communication and online marketing. In addition, participants will learn about opportunities for collaboration between manufacturers and designers and the importance of connecting the professional value chain and increasing added value.
The programme is open to companies registered in Hungary or in the European Economic Area with a Hungarian branch and tax number, as well as to individual entrepreneurs who manufacture products available on the Hungarian and/or international market. In addition, they must have completed at least one full business year and be capable of series production.
The submitted applications will be evaluated by an advisory board of renowned industry experts. The developments created as a result of the mentoring programme are expected to contribute to the growth of the Hungarian creative industry in the short and medium term, strengthening the international position of Hungary and Budapest in the global creative industry landscape.
Deadline for applications: 10 November 2025, 11.59 PM
