Association of Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums

Short Introduction

The Association of Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums (MNHSZ) is a nationwide, politically independent community dedicated to values. Its mission is to identify, preserve and present Hungarian national values, Hungarikums, traditions and new Hungarian innovations.

In 2026, we are placing special emphasis on Hungarian values emerging in the field of artificial intelligence. These are presented through our dedicated online news channel, available at     ai.mnhsz.com

Full Introduction

The Association of Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums (MNHSZ) is a nationwide, politically independent professional and value-preserving community. Its purpose is to identify, document, preserve and promote Hungarian national values, Hungarikums, traditions, and cultural and intellectual heritage.

Our mission is to connect the values of the Hungarian past, present and future, and to build a living value system that strengthens Hungarian identity, supports local communities and Hungarian value preservation beyond the country’s borders, and contributes to making “Hungarian value” a symbol of quality, authenticity and creative strength both in Hungary and internationally.

The Association cooperates with local, regional, county-level, sectoral and cross-border Hungarian value repositories, as well as with all organizations, institutions, businesses and professional communities that share the goal of preserving and presenting Hungarian values.

Our Mission

Our mission is not only to preserve Hungarian national values, but also to present them in a living, evolving form that remains meaningful for future generations.

To achieve this, we work to:

• identify and present the outstanding values of Hungary and Hungarian communities;
• support the wider recognition of traditions, cultural heritage and Hungarikums;
• strengthen the social and economic appreciation of Hungarian values;
• build connections among local communities, professional organizations, businesses and value-preserving actors;
• make Hungarian values accessible through modern online and digital tools;
• present Hungarian heritage to younger generations in a way that is understandable, attractive and forward-looking.

Hungarian Values in the 21st Century

The world of Hungarian values is continuously evolving. Alongside traditional values — such as gastronomy, folk art, built heritage, craftsmanship, natural treasures and cultural achievements — Hungarian scientific, technological, digital and innovation-based achievements are also gaining increasing importance.

The Collection of Hungarikums also includes industrial and technical achievements, such as the life’s work of John von Neumann in the field of information technology and computers. This clearly shows that Hungarian values may represent not only the heritage of the past, but also the knowledge of the future.

Therefore, in 2026, the Association places special emphasis on areas where Hungarian intellectual achievement, research, development and technological creativity create new values.

2026: Opening Towards Artificial Intelligence

In 2026, the Association of Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums began actively focusing on the field of artificial intelligence, or AI.

Our goal is to present the Hungarian values, professional achievements, developments, businesses, research activities and ideas that are emerging in the world of artificial intelligence. We believe that Hungarian knowledge, creativity and innovation represent important value in this field as well.

Artificial intelligence today is not only a technological issue; it is also a social, economic, educational, cultural and value-preserving opportunity. For this reason, the Association strives to present Hungarian AI developments and Hungarian achievements related to artificial intelligence in an understandable, value-based and politically independent form.

As part of this work, in 2026 we launched a professional online AI news channel, available at:

ai.mnhsz.com

The AI online platform features Hungarian and international news, developments and examples that help readers understand how artificial intelligence can connect to Hungarian values, innovation, science, education, healthcare, robotics, economic development and the society of the future.

The ai.mnhsz.com website already includes content related to artificial intelligence, robotics and Hungarian technological examples.

Value Preservation and Innovation Together

For the Association, it is important that tradition and innovation should not appear separately, but should strengthen one another.

Preserving Hungarian national values does not only mean respecting the past. It also means recognizing and presenting new Hungarian achievements born in the present. These include scientific results, digital developments, applications of artificial intelligence, creative industries, Hungarian entrepreneurial achievements, and new solutions that contribute to Hungary’s intellectual and economic strength.

We believe that in the 21st century, the concept of Hungarian value can simultaneously represent tradition, quality, knowledge, creativity, community and forward-looking innovation.

A Politically Independent Professional Community of Values

The Association of Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums carries out its work in a politically independent manner.

For us, the cause of Hungarian values is a shared national and community matter that can connect to every Hungarian person, community, creator, business and institution, independently of party politics.

Our goal is connection, value creation, value preservation and presentation. We aim to build a professional and community space where tradition keepers, value repositories, businesses, researchers, young people, creators and innovators can work together for the future of Hungarian values.

Our Vision

Our vision is for Hungarian national values, Hungarikums and new Hungarian innovations to become increasingly known both in Hungary and around the world.

We would like the expression “Hungarian value” to continue to stand for quality, authenticity, creative strength, respect for tradition and modern thinking in the future.

Therefore, in 2026, the Association of Hungarian National Values and Hungarikums continues to work to connect Hungarian heritage with the Hungarian future — through respect for traditions, support for communities, and the value-based presentation of new technologies, including artificial intelligence.
