Good morning from Budapest, where we are blogging live from GE’s media roundtable and webinar to celebrate the production of its 100th trailer-mounted TM2500 aeroderivative gas turbine.

Smell of the Ring

Guest post by Tom Webb, Head of Communications at Caterham F1 Team

GE being a Premium Partner to the Caterham F1 Team has some upsides many can benefit from. For example we could invite 10 journalists from CEE to meet the Team yesterday. As the Hungarian Grand Prix is the only championship in the region this occasion was unique. The media met the engineers supporting the Team and talked about how existing GE technologies can help their work and what new technologies they dream about. They also met with the drivers. Looking forward to reading their articles about the experience. Below please find an exclusive message from the Caterham Team.

The donation  was the result of an initiative of Zsolt Wintermantel, mayor of Újpest, who wanted leaders of the district to start cooperating more closely with local companies in order to speed up further development.

Since Edison invented the first light bulb in 1879, the technology has gone through over one hundred years of developments.

Hungarian engineers involved in a project of the Central Hungary Operational Program (KMOP) have managed to push this achievement even further.
