Faturalab took part in the Türkiye–Hungary 2nd Term Joint Economic and Trade Committee (JETCO) Business Roundtable, held in Budapest on 28 January, alongside leading companies from both countries.

The meeting, organised by the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Türkiye (DEİK), brought together senior representatives from industry, technology and finance to discuss concrete cooperation opportunities between Türkiye and Hungary.

Within this framework, Faturalab shared its ongoing projects in Hungary and presented its financing approaches for both intra-European Union trade and extra-EU foreign trade.

“We believe the close consultations held during the JETCO meeting will further strengthen the friendship and strategic partnership between our two countries.”

Bringing Business Worlds of Türkiye and Hungary Together

Companies operating in key sectors (including defence, energy, manufacturing, telecommunications, finance, agriculture and information technologies) came together in Budapest for a focused, business–driven exchange.

Rather than centring discussions solely on trade volumes, the roundtable was structured around operational cooperation, investment priorities and projects already underway.

The presence of large, sector-leading companies from both Türkiye and Hungary improved the meeting beyond a traditional diplomatic engagement.

The roundtable format enabled direct dialogue among decision-makers, allowing participants to openly share sectoral priorities, investment plans and expectations. With its strong emphasis on real-world application, the meeting prioritised practical challenges and solutions over theory.

Topics such as financing, trade flows, investment structures and operational processes were discussed through the lens of current projects and concrete business needs.

In this respect, the gathering stood out as a rare and effective platform where companies shaping bilateral economic relations could engage on equal footing.

Faturalab’s Focus: Financing Solutions for Hungary and Beyond

During the meeting, Faturalab highlighted its active projects in Hungary and shared insights drawn from their operational outcomes.

Discussions focused on how proven models function in practice and how they can be adapted and scaled across different trade scenarios, rather than on early-stage concepts.

Faturalab’s contributions centred on financing structures designed for both intra-EU trade and trade beyond the European Union. Through concrete use cases, the company addressed,

• More effective working capital management across multiple countries and counterparty structures.
• The integration of payment, collection and financing processes into day-to-day trade operations.
• How these approaches support businesses operating in complex supply chains.

The emphasis was placed not on product features, but on problem-solving: where financing becomes relevant, which commercial needs it addresses, and how it fits naturally into existing business workflows across different sectors.

Faturalab’s Vision for the Future

One of the most valuable aspects of the meeting was the opportunity for direct, implementation-oriented dialogue between public institutions and the private sector.

The framework provided by ministries and DEİK created a shared platform where corporates, sector representatives and solution providers could engage openly.

Focusing not only on current business activity, but also on building the foundations for long-term cooperation.

This multi-stakeholder structure closely reflects Faturalab’s role in the ecosystem. Rather than acting as a standalone financial layer, Faturalab operates as an operational bridge between corporate buyers, financial institutions, and supply chain stakeholders, embedding financing directly into the natural flow of trade.

The discussions throughout the meeting created a concrete dialogue around how this approach can be applied across different markets and with diverse stakeholder groups.

The Budapest meeting marked a meaningful starting point for new partnerships and initiatives in Hungary.

Faturalab Co-Founder and Board Member Saruhan Doğan added:

“Our priority in the period ahead is to deepen the relationships established in the region, scale our existing projects and strengthen our presence in the European market in a sustainable way.

We will continue to move forward with a measured yet determined approach, backed by solutions that deliver real value in practice.”
