Category winners can use the Retailer of the ‘Year 2018’ logo and name for a year. Endre Eölyüs, Mastercard’s country manager for Hungary and Slovenia told: Mastercard’s view is that Hungarian retailers are working hard to turn shopping into an experience with progressive technological solutions.

There were more than 30 competition entries and the following jury selected the best ones from these: Dr Gedeon Totth (head of institute and college professor at the Budapest Business School (BGE)), Tünde Turcsán (client service director of GfK Hungária Market Research Institute), Katalin Neubauer (general secretary of the Hungarian National Trade Association), Réka Szöllősi (managing director of the Federation of Hungarian Food Industries), Sándor Nagy (president of Ecommerce Hungary) and Zsuzsanna Hermann (managing director and editor-in-chief of Trade magazin).
