OUR KEY TOPICS THIS YEAR:
DAP on the horizon: ePost, eDocument Management, ePayment and AI Integration
The conference will provide an up-to-date overview of the key functions of the Digital Citizenship Program: ePost, eDocument Management, ePayment, and the mobile future of life-event-based administration. We will cover pilots, test-run experiences, expected rollout schedules, and lessons learned on user experience. A dedicated session will address the link between DAP and AI: which real, everyday functions (e.g., document recognition, automatic form filling, digital assistants) will first reach users, and what regulatory, data protection, and technological barriers slow down rapid deployment.
The Role of Data in Business Competitiveness
How can data—the "oil of the 21st century"—become a true competitive advantage for Hungarian businesses? The conference will examine the practical use of government databases, barriers to access, skill and equipment gaps, as well as the conditions for real value creation. Through sector-specific examples (health industry, commerce, tourism), we will highlight what types of support and services (e.g., Data-EDIH, DIMOP Plusz) can help with scaling. In addition, we will look at simple, practical examples to explore whether SMEs are truly leveraging the potential of their own data.
AI and Exponentially Growing Energy Demand, Sustainability. Data Centers by 2030
AI applications and their exponentially growing demand for (computing) capacity are reshaping the data center market. We will discuss managing performance and energy requirements (liquid cooling, edge/cloud integration, even SMR opportunities), sustainable operations, and the competitive advantages of Hungarian developments. What makes Hungary an attractive destination? Which cooperation and regulatory frameworks can accelerate investments?
NIS2 Readiness – Experiences, Challenges, Pitfalls
Thousands of organizations affected, hundreds of audits underway. Where do we really stand? Auditors, consultants, and already-compliant organizations will share what has worked, where processes tend to break down, and which risks should be proactively managed. Our goal is to provide practical, immediately applicable insights and lessons to support compliance with the obligations.
Our Future in the Data Space. The Hungarian Implementation of European Data Spaces
We will focus on the practical rollout of European data spaces (e.g., health, agriculture): legal and technical frameworks, national strategic stakes, new markets, and emerging business models. How can Hungary move beyond the role of a mere data provider and become an active, benefiting participant? What forms of government–market cooperation can deliver rapid results?
Human in the Machine? Curriculum for the AI Era
Instead of “robots taking our jobs,” we focus on collaboration. We explore new job roles, collaboration patterns, leadership skills, as well as psychological and ethical aspects. The role of domestic innovation ecosystems (e.g., test environments) and possibilities for national positioning are also discussed. Our goal is to outline a decision-making framework.
The New Colleague Has Long Been Here: Collaborating with AI and Robots at the Workplace
A „robotok elveszik a munkát” helyett a közös munkáról beszélünk. Az új munkaköröket, kollaborációs mintákat, vezetői készségeket, illetve pszichológiai-etikai vonatkozásokat vizsgáljuk. Hazai innovációs ökoszisztémák (pl. tesztkörnyezetek) szerepe és a nemzeti pozícionálás lehetőségei. A célunk egy döntéshozói keretrendszer felvázolása.
Energy 2.0: Smart Grids, Storage, and Supply Security
What can we learn from European blackouts? How will digitalization become a pillar of system resilience, and how does real-time monitoring help? Topics include network modernization to mitigate renewable energy fluctuations, energy storage (batteries, pumped-storage, green hydrogen), demand-side flexibility, and AI-supported operations management.
Restructuring the Infrastructure Market
The transformation of the domestic telecommunications infrastructure services market brings new business models. At the conference, we explore who benefits from these changes and how: stakeholder expectations, consumer advantages, the role of regulatory background, and the new division of labor in investment and operations.
Network Development Through 2030
After an international outlook, we map the current and future development of optical networks from a technical and professional perspective. Why is nationwide coverage crucial for both households and businesses? How can we ensure that the deployed capacity generates real economic value?
How can we achieve this? An overview of old and new sources of funding for digital development
An overview of the financing of digital development in the corporate and public sectors: market and state instruments, new schemes and ongoing programs. We will discuss the Sándor Demján Capital Program and the scale and type of resources that fit into different development plans.
New DIMOP Policy: Goals, Tools, Next Steps
Introducing the new policy: a brief review of past experiences, plans, and focal points for the upcoming period. What do the government and market sides expect from the program? How does it influence project generation, and which collaborations accelerate effective implementation?
Cybersecurity and Digital Financial Markets: Are Alternative Providers a Threat or an Opportunity?
From the perspective of the Digitalization Directorate within the central bank, we review new digital financial market models. Where does regulation come into play, and where are market participants responsible for reducing misuse? What educational and technological tools are needed for both consumer protection and innovation?
AI Workshop: Image Generation, NotebookLM Knowledge Base, n8n Automation
What do these “buzzwords” really mean? Through practical demonstrations, we support conference attendees eager to develop their skills. The workshop aims to provide immediately applicable techniques, pitfalls to avoid, and best practices:
- Stable Diffusion (ComfyUI): creative image generation for marketing and visualizations.
- Google NotebookLM: uploading internal knowledge bases, building company-specific.
- n8n (low/no-code): automating repetitive tasks without coding.
Educational Case Study: Textbook and Chatbot Development with Gemini and NotebookLM
We demonstrate the steps to create a knowledge base and chatbot based on an existing vocational training textbook: content preparation, loading into NotebookLM, Gemini-based content enhancement, and experiences running the “robot mentor.” An honest account of what was challenging, what accelerated implementation, and how it can be scaled across a school network.
