Focus Markets - Russia & Hungary
The automotive markets in Russia and Hungary were severely affected by the financial crisis of 2008/9, but both are now showing signs of positive recovery, with increasing consumer confidence and a revival in inward investment presenting many opportunities for UK companies.

To enable IBG members to take maximum advantage of this up-turn, we have assembled a panel of expert speakers, who can offer first-hand, up-to-date advice on the local automotive industries and the broader business environments in these two markets. This is a unique opportunity to visit the impressive Nissan Technical Centre and to benefit from the wide-ranging expertise of guest speakers and networking with similar international focussed automotive companies.

The Programme starts at 12:00 with a networking lunch, which will also be joined by members of the SMMT Design Engineering Group. Followed by an hour-long tour of the facilities, including Chassis Dyno, EIPF, Anti Theft, Juke Vehicle Viewing & Explanation and Safety (only 30 places). The formal IBG meeting commences at 14:30 and will include presentations as detailed in the programme available to download below. The meeting is open to non-SMMT members and there is no entry charge.
