In our close environment, we pay special attention to cultural initiatives. We are convinced that by supporting art, we also contribute to the development of the economic and business environment, since cultural events also improve the quality of life of the local community as well as that of society as a whole. In addition, with these activities we wish to find and show the values, strengths and meeting points of Japanese and Hungarian culture through art.
