Why these markets?
When considering factors such as prosperity, stability, market size, buying power, and ease of doing business, Hungary and Poland are the undisputed leaders among countries in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), which is the faster growing part of Europe.
The beauty of exporting and building market presence in the CEE region stems from the fact that the markets are manageable in size and easy to navigate even for SMEs, and success in one market can be replicated in others. US companies can therefore grow organically step by step in a safe business environment; they can expect pragmatic, result-oriented business environment, not too different from the US and Western Europe
Both countries, often selected by foreign companies as their preferred gateway to CEE, are particularly suitable for companies that already export to Western Europe or other overseas markets and look for new export markets.
