About the Conference

Organised annually by the Antall József Knowledge Centre in cooperation with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Hungary and with the support of the International Visegrad Fund, think.BDPST is a strategic conference on innovation, analysing technological developments from the perspective of international relations, security, and society. In 2021, the conference will be realised as part of the V4 presidency programme of Hungary. This year, e-governance, the post-pandemic rebuilding of the economy, and digital awareness will be discussed.

Connect to the Future

In 2021, the conference put e-governance in the spotlight. The pandemic has showed us that information and communication technology have become significant tools in our everyday life, including the public sector. The panels and lectures debated the role of digital transformation in our lives and the ways in which digitalisation can improve the public and private sectors. The pandemic accelerated the uptake of e-commerce. The conference, therefore, also analysed the effects of digitalisation on economic recovery. Read the summary of the 2021 event now!
