Investor of the Year Awards 2004
( 15 / June / 2005 )
In 2004 the Hungarian Investment and Trade Development Agency (ITDH), in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy and Transport, established the Investor of the Year Awards. With these awards the Republic of Hungary formally recognizes those investors who have contributed the most to Hungarian economic development and employment growth for that year and acknowledges the efforts of those organisations assisting them.
The awards were presented on 14 June 2005 in the Parliament by Prime Minister Mr. Ferenc Gyurcsány and Minister of Economy and Transport Dr. János Kóka during a special intermission of the annual plenary session of the Investors’ Board.
The awards were handed out for the first time this year, in six categories.
In 2004 the Professional Committee has honoured
* Ibiden Hungary Kft. with the award for Greenfield Investment of the Year (for the largest Greenfield investment);
* Magyar Suzuki Rt. with the award for Business Expansion of the Year (for the largest business expansion as measured by capital investment);
* Foxconn Hungary Gyártó Kft. with the award for Company of the Year for Job Creation (for the creation of the most jobs);
* Exxonmobil Hungária Kft. with the award for Company of the Year for Regional Centres (for establishing the largest regional centre);
* Audi Motor Hungária Kft. with the award for R&D Cooperation;
* Ipari Projekt Hungária Kft. (Tatabánya Industrial Park) with the award for Industrial Park of the Year (for the most investor-friendly industrial park).
The judging was undertaken by a special Professional Committee organised by the Ministry of Economy and Transport.
