How the New Agreement Enhances Learning Opportunities
The recent cooperation agreement signed between Corvinus University of Budapest and the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA) marks a significant step forward for education and industry in Hungary. By combining academic expertise with HIPA’s market insight, the partnership creates a pipeline of practical learning experiences for students and a talent pool for businesses.
Guest Lectures that Bridge Theory and Practice
Under the agreement, HIPA experts will deliver guest lectures across a range of Corvinus programmes. These sessions bring real‑world case studies directly into the classroom, allowing students to see how concepts such as digital marketing, supply‑chain optimisation, and financial analysis are applied in the Hungarian economy. For students pursuing business, economics, or public policy, the exposure to industry leaders can sharpen analytical skills and broaden career perspectives.
Internship Pathways for Compulsory Projects
HIPA will host students for compulsory internships, ensuring that academic requirements are met while providing hands‑on experience in a dynamic business environment. Interns gain access to cutting‑edge technologies and project management practices that are shaping Hungary’s investment landscape. For employers, the arrangement offers a chance to evaluate future talent before formal recruitment.
Executive Training Tailored to HIPA Staff
Corvinus has committed to launching executive training programmes specifically designed for HIPA staff. These courses cover topics such as innovation management, entrepreneurship, and cross‑border investment strategies. By aligning the training with the needs of Hungary’s investment promotion sector, the university strengthens the skills of professionals who drive economic growth.
Benefits for Students and Professionals Alike
Students stand to gain from a richer curriculum that integrates industry insights. Professionals benefit from access to a pool of well‑prepared graduates and from the university’s research outputs. The partnership also enhances the university’s reputation as a hub for applied research and talent development in Hungary.
Career Development Opportunities
HIPA’s involvement in career events and online channels provides students with direct contact to potential employers. The university’s career support services can now coordinate with HIPA to host job fairs, networking sessions, and mentorship programmes. This collaboration increases the likelihood of securing positions in high‑growth sectors such as technology, renewable energy, and financial services.
Research Collaboration and Innovation
Both institutions can collaborate on research projects that address national economic priorities. For example, joint studies on investment incentives, market entry strategies, or digital transformation can inform policy decisions and business practices. Students and faculty who participate in these projects gain publication opportunities and real‑world impact.
