										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Coffees, cakes, hot chocolates, health drinks, teas and countless homemade products, interesting recipes, special flavour combinations. With us, guests can “taste” the world. They can make an exciting journey of taste with their tongues across five continents of the world. Our drinks are always made from freshly roasted, hand-picked, arabica plantation-coffee rarities. At Cafe Frei we only offer seventy half of the coffee drink to our guests, because we have all the major “coffee cuisine” (Italian, French, Japanese, Arabic, American, Latin).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Meanwhile, “proudly Hungarian”. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We have our own roasting and packaging plant in Szécsény, where we roast raw coffees imported from nearly twenty countries on three continents under manufactory conditions, which form the basis of our seventy types of coffee drinks. We built our bakery producing cakes and ice cream in Pásztó, supplemented with considerable freezing capacity. We currently provide work for more than 300 colleagues in our factories and cafes. We buy most of our raw materials directly from producers, both in Hungary and abroad. For us, this is Conscientious Trade.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We know almost every grower personally. We only buy green coffee from verified sources. We strive to add more and more organic organic coffee into our drinks and bring them to our roasting plant in Hungary without the profit of the resellers, that is, saving the wallets of our guests.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thanks to the 1,6 billion HUF agreement with Széchenyi Funds, we have slowly become a food industry manufacturer from a catering service provider, and while we appear more and more prominently on the shelves of small circle, we have become the largest coffee chain in Hungary.</p>]]></content:encoded>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Our cloud-based system started from a friendly conversation, which is what makes it so customer-centric. And today it is essential for a competitive business to digitize everything they can in their everyday lives — Billingo is at the forefront of this. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Customers can connect their invoice to other systems in just a few clicks and literally support their company with the latest technologies. With our platform, billingos get an online government to manage their company's corporate and finance in real time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">By raising capital, our goal was to become a digital business center that makes business management as simple as possible in entrepreneurial everyday life. With the help of the Széchenyi Funds investment, we have developed into a forward-looking business platform where CEOs not only receive real-time information about the current situation of their business, but can also make decisions based on them.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Over the past three decades, we managed a total of about 40 billion forints in our previous capital funds and executed a record number of nearly 50 exits in the domestic market, including several stock exchanges on the NYSE, NASDAQ and other European stock exchanges. We also sold a number of companies to American and European strategic investors and regional financial investors. For all this, we looked at more than 4,000 investment options.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With our investments, we focus primarily on innovative companies in the Central and Eastern European region with high growth potential, and we have achieved our greatest success so far in the technology sector. The investment will allow Euroventures to invest HUF 1-2 billion each in eight to ten growth phase technology companies in several rounds in Hungary and in the region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to a thorough investment selection process focusing on management competencies, our partnerships and significant experience in exits are backed by our success. The active portfolio management of Euroventures is primarily manifested in the continuous monitoring of the implementation of the strategy and joint preparation for exits during weekly and monthly consultations with the management of companies. We invest in fast-growing, scalable, primarily technology companies with commercial revenues that think internationally from the beginning and can generate significant value.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In April 2020, Gloster carried out a private capital increase in BSE's Xtend market, in which it raised about HUF 1.1 billion in funds. As a leading investor, Széchenyi Funds acquired a 24.65 percent stake. 764 million forints were invested in our company at the exchange rate of HUF 200, part of which has already been sold at HUF 850 in a package of shares worth HUF 210 million.  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On the share sale, <strong>the fund manager realized an internal rate of return of more than 70%</strong>, so more than four times the price gain overall.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gloster also came into business: last year we closed the most successful year in their history: <strong>our sales revenue increased by 30% and our profit after tax increased by 50%</strong>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the IT industry, it is basically difficult to grow organically. Every company already has IT. On the other hand, IT companies have a greater willingness to sell than in other industries. Gloster has made nine acquisitions in the past three years. The acquisition is emphasized even in our 2025 strategy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The other strategic goal is to create IT development centers near rural university towns, where we intend to train professionals in cooperation with universities. The first development center in Pécs is planned to expand with 50 developers in three years and thus become one of the major players in the local IT market. The employees of the development center will be involved in the development of Western European software through Gloster GmbH (the recently acquired G-Plus Consulting GmbH).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Széchenyi Funds apparently believe in the further long-term growth of the company, as it still holds the majority of its share package.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The multi-year investment process, as a result of which Stellantis, the owner of Opel, Fiat and Peugeot among others, acquired one of Hungary's most innovative startups, Aimotive, which develops self-driving technologies, ended with the greatest success of the Széchenyi Funds to date.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AiMotive is one of the world's largest independent teams developing the backend technology for driving automation. The ecosystem of self-driving software, automotive simulation tools and AI acceleration hardware supports the proliferation of affordable self-driving systems. The company's team has special expertise in the areas of artificial intelligence, sensor data fusion, 3D graphics and the hardware needs of self-driving systems.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We realized in our time that automobiles will soon be increasingly based on software. The concept of “self-driving car” has become commonplace recently, with thousands of engineers around the world working to create a true self-driving car. And although several have already declared themselves winners in this competition, the task is obviously much more complex than what many had previously hoped for.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to developing autonomous driving technology, AiMotive has developed a system of frameworks and tools that can help other developers gradually equip their cars with autonomous driving capability. As it has been proven, these professional developments have really tangible value in this market.</p>
