Pál Veres is currently serving as the mayor of Miskolc, the fourth largest city in Hungary and an important industrial centre. Veres has been holding the position of mayor in this Hungarian city since 2019. Thanks to mayor Veres’ outstanding efforts, numerous companies are choosing to invest in Miskolc, further solidifying the city’s strong image as one of Hungary’s major economic centres with an amazing business climate.

In 1986, mayor of Miskolc obtained a bachelor’s degree in mathematics-physics-computer science from Debrecen’s Lajos Kossuth University. Before becoming mayor, Veres was a director of the Ferenc Földes High School in Miskolc. He announced his intention to compete as an independent candidate in the autumn municipal elections in a video message on July 1, 2019.

In the Miskolc South Science and Technology Park, the Xanga Investment and Development Group has recently begun construction of a facility for manufacturing and logistics activities, which is one of the major investments in Miskolc. Mayor Veres described it as an excellent opportunity for Miskolc that will ‘’not only create jobs but will also help the logistics sector, contributing to the strengthening of Miskolc’s economy.’’

Xanga Investment and Development Group also signed an agreement on cooperation with the University of Miskolc, the largest university in Northern Hungary. According to mayor Veres, the agreement between the University of Miskolc and the XANGA group of firms demonstrated that it is advantageous for businesses to pick Miskolc because they can count on multi-level collaboration and partnership. This is an excellent example of Mayor Veres’ remarkable efforts to attract world-class businesses to his city. The city of Miskolc keeps reinventing itself and is already home to numerous multinational companies that employ thousands of people.

Another goal for mayor Veres is to make Miskolc a modern city full of opportunities. This way, he hopes to be able to attract younger generations to stay and pursue their careers in Miskolc. In order to accomplish this, mayor Veres also works on strengthening the link between the city and its university. Making Miskolc more environmentally friendly and livable is another priority for mayor Veres. As one of the ways to achieve that, he actively works on the ‘’10,000 trees for the health of Miskolc 2020-2025″ initiative. Furthermore, he is doing an amazing work in strengthening and diversifying the city’s touristic offer. (photo credit: Miskolc official website)
