Kognitiv open up their first European office in Hungary.

Kognitiv opened up the first of several European offices with local partners in Dabas, just outside Budapest in Hungary in July 2009.

The regional council, education and government institutions are all strong supporters of the program and are instrumental in promoting Kognitiv Hungary and helping them to raise the profile of advanced visualisation and new technologies within the area.

Education is also a significant market sector in Budapest, as are the four main clusters in the region - automotive, aviation, medical and construction.

Ken Swain, Managing Director of Kognitiv (Europe) Ltd joined Zoltan Koszegi, the mayor of Dabas and Gyula Kosztolányi, Managing Director of Kognitiv Hungary Kft, in a special signing ceremony to complete the agreement and cement the mutual relationship.

Since then Kognitiv Hungary have developed a lot of interest in the community and established a healthy revenue stream for the Hungary office.
