The next CEO Business Breakfast, hosted by the German-Hungarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (DUIHK) in partnership with the Budapest Business Journal and Budapest Security Dialogue, turns the spotlight on the defence industry in Hungary.

Digitalisation is the world's number one issue in the 21st century and Drones are changing the third-dimension of the world, or have already done so.

We want to discuss with international top-class experts what influences and changes this will have on the security of our societies and countries.
