International Projects
In today’s economic environment, the successful operation of businesses is increasingly intertwined with international relations, knowledge transfer, and the involvement of external resources. Recognizing this, CCIPB has been actively participating in European Union and other international projects for more than twenty years, not only for its own organizational development, but also so that the results achieved in the projects contribute directly and indirectly to the further strengthening of businesses in the South Transdanubia region.
The chamber’s international projects provide support to businesses in the region on several levels. Among other things, they help companies access new business opportunities, expand their international relations, develop their innovation capabilities, and promote digitization and energy efficiency. Indirectly, they contribute to the development of the entrepreneurial environment, increase the international visibility of the region, and strengthen social cohesion.
It is important to emphasize that CCIPB carries out all its project activities with the interests of local businesses in mind, and its programs are tailored to the economic structure and characteristics of the region.

Clusterization
Our chamber has participated and continues to participate in the establishment and management of several clusters. The advantage of clustering is that it allows companies to network their capabilities and increase their joint competitiveness. They can achieve all this while reducing costs and making the most of their resources.
By sharing experiences, companies expand their expertise, build relationships based on trust, and, last but not least, work together to promote their interests and increase their lobbying power.

- South Transdanubian Engineering Cluster (DDGK) – Founded: March 2011. Awarded the title of „Accredited Cluster” and the international (ESCA) „Silver Label” certification, it is the largest cluster in the region in terms of both turnover and the size of its member companies.
