Quinnipiac University Hosts Central European Tech Day in Connecticut

From Quinnipiac University:

HAMDEN, CT – Quinnipiac University will host Central European Tech Day in Connecticut from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Tuesday, October 11, in the Rocky Top Student Center, 305 Sherman Ave.

“The purpose of the day is to attract Central European technology companies to Connecticut by helping them understand the opportunities that exist for them,” said Chris Ball, director of the Central European Institute at Quinnipiac and honorary consul of Hungary for the state of Connecticut. “We want them to understand how Connecticut supports inbound investment and will help growing businesses. And rather than just telling them that there are opportunities, the afternoon’s business matching session will bring in Connecticut business people interested in doing business with them. This day provides them a unique package of services they will not find anywhere else."

The event will include a presentation on the “Legal Essentials Every Foreign Entrepreneur Must Know” by Dana Bucin, an attorney at Updike, Kelly and Spellacy, P.C. Bucin also will moderate a discussion on “Opportunities in Connecticut,” which will include a panel of representatives from Connecticut Innovations, the state Department of Economic and Community Development and the Connecticut Economic Resource Center.

From 2-4 p.m., Connecticut entrepreneurs and business people will have an opportunity to meet with and hear pitches from representatives of several Central European companies, including Brokerchooser of Hungary; MosaicLights of Hungary; OzonExtrade of Hungary; Reporter of Hungary; Notch of Hungary; and Slido of Slovakia.

This program is free and open to the public. Registrants should call or email the Central European Institute at Hanna.Hejmowski@qu.edu or 203 582-8737.

CEENET (the Central European Network) and the Hungarian Consulate in New York are sponsoring the program.
